You can use the calculator below to work out your subscription for IPA membership in 2024.
Subscription calculator
Your membership subscription for 2024 will be calculated on the latest available financial statements we have for your agency at the time the IPA Finance Team is preparing your invoice in December 2023. We would expect the relevant financial statements to have a period end in the range from March 2022 to February 2023.
To use the calculator you will need to derive what we call Gross Income from your financial statements. Gross Income is typically captioned “revenue” or “operating revenue” by creative agencies and “gross profit” by media agencies. It is defined, for the purposes of calculating IPA membership subscriptions, as: turnover less costs of media purchasing and direct pass-through production costs inclusive of shoot travel expenses (provided such costs and travel expenses have not been marked up) but before any other costs incurred in the provision of an agency’s services. Accordingly, if any employment, freelancer or consultancy costs, or other indirect or overhead costs, have been included in Cost of Sales, then they must be added back to Gross Profit in order to arrive at Gross Income.
Put the Gross Income into the calculator and your membership subscription will be displayed. Remember: if you pay the subscription in January, we offer a 5% prompt payment discount.
