Limit values of averages

Including membership type and number of referrals, here are those averages that you need to break even at the end of each month(s) or after 15 days. You can find calculations for Standard, Golden, Ultimate, Sapphire and Diamond membership (Emerald and Platinum are the same as Sapphire and Diamond, expect the monthly payment discounts).
Computation methods can be found under the examples to calculate individual cases, follow them separately and sequentially or you might get false values.
Don't forget, while the break even averages can give you a base to efficient recycling, don't just rely on these. The past behaviour of the referrals are also as important as their averages.


Important: First renting is for 30 days without the 5% discount. To calculate the averages needed for the first month, just skip point 2. everywhere.

 Standard  members:
  • 1-250 referrals

*Renewing for 15 days:.....1,467
*Renewing for 30 days:.....1,400
*Renewing for 60 days:.....1,333
*Renewing for 90 days:.....1,200
*Renewing for 150 days:...1,107
*Renewing for 240 days:...1,025

  • 251-300 referrals

*Renewing for 15 days:.....1,600
*Renewing for 30 days:.....1,467
*Renewing for 60 days:.....1,367
*Renewing for 90 days:.....1,267
*Renewing for 150 days:...1,147
*Renewing for 240 days:...1,075

Note: The break even average for standards is the same from 1-250 and 251-300 referrals (as there is no membership cost involved).

Computation method for  Standard  members
Average needed to break even:
1. Check the cost of 1 referral (in cents) for your number of referrals on the Help page (for example: 22 cents between 0->250)
2.
Divide by 2 if renewing for 15 days,|
multiply by 0,95 (5% discount) if renewing for 30 days,|
multiply by 2 and 0,9 (10% discount) if renewing for 60 days,|
multiply by 3 and 0,82 (18% discount) if renewing for 90 days,|
multiply by 5 and 0,75 (25% discount) if renewing for 150 days,|
or multiply by 8 and 0,7 (30% discount) if renewing for 240 days.
Round the number you got to an integer if needed (for example 11,5 -> 12, 54,12 -> 54)

3. Multiply by 2 (as a standard, you recieve 0,5c after a referral click)
4. Divide by 15/30/60/90/150/240 depending on your renewing

Average alteration if recycling one referral:
Same for point 1.-3.
4. Multiply by your number of referrals
5. Add 14 (a recycle costs 7 cents, which means 14 additional clicks from your referrals to be in zero)
6. Divide by your number of referrals
7. Divide by 15/30/60/90/150/240 depending on your renewing
8. Substract the break even average applying to you to get the additional needed average in case of 1 recycle.

Calculate mixed averages:
Yes, all these calculations are nice, but what if there are users renewing for different terms? I will try to show you by an example.
First you need to know the break even averages for all the terms you renew according to your total number of referrals. Let's say you are a golden member with 200 referrals, and you renewed 150 referrals for 90 days, and 50 referrals for 150 days.
The break even averages are 0,668 and 0,623. The ratio of the renewed referrals is 150:50 (3:1). Multiply the averages with these, then divide by the sum of the ratio elements (number of referrals you have):
(0,668*150 + 0,623*50)/(150+50) = 0,657

So, as a golden member with 200 referrals (150 renewed for 90, 50 renewed for 150 days), you will need an average of 0,657 to break even.
There is a catch, though:
these mixed averages will be only valid until your referrals drop out of the proper renewing term. In our example, it's the first referral(s) who have his/their 90 days expired.
In this case (and we are still at our example), there are 3 ways to go:
* Don't renew your referrals, so you will need the break even average of the 150 days renewal plan (at least for the referrals you still have in the renewal "pot")
* Renew them for 90 days again, thus keeping the same needed average (and the same goes later for the referrals who were renewed for 150 days)
* Renew for another term, therefore you will need a new average until the first ones expire again (remember, under "expire" I mean that they ran out of the selected amount of days - for example if you renewed them with 5 days left for 90 days, when those 90 days expire you will still have your referrals, just doesn't count them in the specified renewal pot)

Notes:
- Most of the averages are rounded
- Autopay not included
- I used "," as the decimal point (as there are countries using "." instead), just to avoid confusion
- Daily prices of memberships are always included
- Values in brackets are the needed averages excluding membership prices
- If you want to exclude the price of golden membership/golden packs, just skip point 4 in the calculation method
- Take a notice that first the rentings are always for 30 days
- Feel free to translate (and leave a comment if you need the source code for visual appearance)
- Sorry for my English (yeah, topic name was also a direct translation )


Advantages of Golden membership:
- $0.01 per referral click (standard exposure).
