And another question, what is membership retention?
Member retention is the measure of how many of your members keep their membership active. It is a critical component of the membership model, because it describes how you keep your members from canceling their subscriptions, and how you ensure they find sufficient value in the services that you're offering.

How is average membership calculated?
For example, let's say you have 1,300 current members and cumulatively they have been members for 12,740 years and you have 5,200 dropped members and cumulatively they were members for 14,820 years. Then your average membership tenure is 12,740 + 14,820 / 6,500 = 4.24 years. How do you calculate increase in membership? Take the current member count for the month and subtract the number from June of the previous fiscal year. We then take that difference and divide by the base number to get a percentage of growth or decline.
