Build a Membership Site Calculator with Claude Code

Build a Membership Site Calculator web app. People search for "membership site calculator" about 50 times a month, plus related searches like "membership revenue calculator", "subscription site calculator", "membership business calculator". The goal is a tool that ranks for those searches and makes money.

What it should do:
Create a membership site calculator with pricing tiers, member count, and churn rate inputs. Calculate monthly recurring revenue, lifetime value, and growth projections. Include pricing optimization suggestions and break-even analysis. Add scenario planning and business model comparison. Focus on getting revenue calculations working first.

How to build it:
1. Read this folder first. If it is empty, set up Next.js (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind). Write a short PLAN.md with the pages, components, any library or API you need, and what you are leaving for later. Then build.
2. Put the tool itself on the homepage so a visitor can use it within seconds, with no sign-up. Do the processing in the browser where you can, so it is fast and cheap to run. Look at how MemberPress, Kajabi, Teachable do it and make ours simpler and faster.
3. Make it rank. Use "membership site calculator" in the title tag, H1 and meta description. Under the tool, add a short how-to and an FAQ with FAQPage schema, and add a sitemap and robots.txt. Scaffold these programmatic pages from one template and a data file: /membership-calculator-[niche], /subscription-site-[pricing-model], /membership-revenue-[business-type].
4. Monetisation: Freemium: Basic calculations, $12/mo premium + forecasting. Add a pricing page and the free usage limit, and leave Stripe checkout as a clearly marked stub with the environment variables it needs.
5. Run it locally and test the main flow end to end, including edge cases like empty input and very large files. Fix what breaks, then finish with a summary of what works, what is stubbed and how to deploy it to Vercel.

Paste it into Claude Code in an empty folder. It plans first, so read PLAN.md and steer before it starts building.
