Methodology and sources
Cost-plus pricing method
This calculator uses a cost-plus (or markup) pricing model. It calculates the total cost per member (fixed costs spread across members + variable costs), then applies your target profit margin to determine the recommended price.
Minimum price = (Fixed costs / Members) + Variable costRecommended price = Minimum price / (1 - Target margin)Source
Standard cost-plus pricing methodology from managerial accounting. See: Kotler, P. & Keller, K.L. (2016). Marketing Management, 15th Edition. Pearson, Chapter 14: Developing Pricing Strategies and Programs. The 10-20% gym profit margin range is a commonly cited industry estimate, not derived from a single published source.
Pricing strategy tips
Value-based pricing
Don't just price based on costs. Consider the value you provide - location, equipment quality, cleanliness, community, and expertise all justify higher prices.
Tiered pricing
Offer multiple membership levels. This captures different customer segments and increases average revenue per member.
Annual discounts
Offer 15-20% off for annual memberships. This improves cash flow and reduces churn significantly.
