How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter average order value.
  2. Enter annual purchase frequency.
  3. Enter average customer lifespan in years.
  4. Enter gross margin percentage.
  5. Click Calculate to see CLV and max cost-per-acquisition.

The Formula

CLV = (AOV x Purchase Rate x Lifespan) x Gross Margin%. Max CPA = CLV / Lifespan. Rule of thumb: CAC should be < 1/3 CLV.

Why It Matters

Your subscription has 500 customers at $50/month with 5% monthly churn. Each customer's lifetime value is $950 — meaning you need to spend less than $950 on acquisition to profitably grow.
