Revenue
Since the start, we have always tried to foster financial transparency. It’s one of The Gazette’s core values. Since May 2023, we have shared key metrics, including:
- Total members
- MMR, AAR and ARPU
- Monthly v annual memberships
- A record of grants and donations
This page is updated at the end of every month.
| Total members | 29 |
|---|---|
| MMR | £82 |
| AAR | £984 |
| ARPU | £2.83 |
What do these terms mean?
Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) is the revenue that we receive on a monthly basis from all paying memberships. MRR is calculated by taking the total number of paying members multiplied by the average billed amount.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is a forecast of our annual revenue, calculated by multiplying MRR by 12. It assumes everything stays exactly as is for the rest of the year – no churn, no new customers, and no expansion.
Average revenue per user (ARPU) is calculated by dividing our MMR by our number of paying members. ARPU is calculated on a monthly basis and gives us an idea of how much the average member spends.
