How it works

  • CAC = total marketing & sales spend / new customers acquired in the same period
  • LTV = average purchase value x purchases per month x lifespan x gross margin
  • LTV:CAC of 3:1 is the common SaaS / e-commerce health benchmark; 1:1 means you only break even
  • CAC payback under 12 months is generally considered efficient
  • • Set gross margin to 100% to see LTV on revenue instead of profit
