Email Credits Calculator
Estimate how many send credits you need for campaigns, drips, and follow-ups.
Step 1 · Think in real emails
1 credit = 1 email you send
If you email 100 people once, that uses 100 credits. If you email those same 100 people 3 times, that uses 300 credits. MailShrine does not charge for how many people sit on your list — only for emails that actually go out. Pick a real-life example to see the math, then tweak the numbers.
Newsletter
One email to your whole list (promo, update, weekly digest).
Welcome series
A few emails new signups get automatically (day 1, day 3, day 7…).
Follow-up
Extra emails to a slice of your list (reminders, “still interested?”).
Start with a story:
Tunde’s fashion store: Tunde emails his 3,000-person list once a week (4 times). About 150 people join this month and get a 4-email welcome series. Roughly 10% of the list get one reminder email.
Step 2 · Build your month
What will you send this month?
3,000 people × 4 sends = 12,000 credits
150 new people × 4 welcome emails = 600 credits
About 300 people (10% of 3,000) × 1 follow-ups = 300 credits
Step 3 · Your credit receipt
Add it up like a shopping bill
3,000 × 4
150 × 4
300 × 1
Total credits this month
12,900
In plain English: you need enough credits to send about 12,900 emails this month.
