Good questions about this math
What is a good churn rate?
Under 5 percent monthly is healthy for consumer memberships; business subscriptions should aim under 3. Above 8 percent you are filling a leaky bucket, and fixing retention beats buying more signups every time.
Why does my growth flatten out?
Because churn scales with your member count while signups usually do not. Every subscription business plateaus where members lost equals members gained; the calculator shows exactly where that ceiling sits for your numbers.
