Scenario inputs

CAC / LTV Calculator

CAC divides acquisition spend by acquired customers; simple LTV uses monthly gross profit per customer multiplied by an approximate inverse-churn lifetime.

Calculated view
CAC$200.00
Estimated lifetime (months)25
Estimated LTV$1,487.50
LTV:CAC7.44

The simple inverse-churn lifetime model is a rough steady-state approximation.

Why this tool is different

Calculate CAC, estimated customer lifetime value and the LTV:CAC ratio from transparent business assumptions. OpenFileTools exposes the inputs, formulas and scenario effects so the estimate remains auditable.

Requirements and recommendations

Model the decision with explicit assumptions

  • Enter realistic assumptions instead of best-case values.
  • Use the scenario lab to see which assumption changes the result most.
  • Verify taxes, rates, fees, legal rules and market inputs from authoritative sources before making a real decision.
How OpenFileTools processes it

Local processing, explicit choices.

The browser evaluates the published calculation from your inputs and recomputes a bounded sensitivity range around the selected scenario variable. No external market feed or hidden scoring service is called.
