Calculate and interpret unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback period, and contribution margin) for service, SaaS, and hybrid business models to help you diagnose profitability and identify optimization levers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated unit-economics calculations across service, SaaS, and hybrid models.
  • Health diagnostics & scenario modelling to stress-test profitability under best/base/worst cases.
  • Decision-ready outputs including LTV, LTV:CAC, payback, gross margin, and contribution margin for strategic planning.

Quick Start

Provide inputs such as ARPU, CAC, COGS, and churn to generate the full unit-economics report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate unit economics for a hybrid business model?

To calculate unit economics for a hybrid model, provide inputs like ARPU, COGS, CAC, and monthly churn to compute LTV, payback period, and contribution margin. This evaluates profitability and identifies optimization levers across mixed service and SaaS revenue streams.

What is a healthy LTV to CAC ratio for SaaS?

A healthy LTV:CAC ratio for SaaS typically indicates strong profitability when the lifetime value significantly exceeds acquisition costs. The calculator assesses this ratio using your ARPU, churn, and CAC inputs to generate a direct health diagnostic for your business model.

How do I stress-test profitability across different growth scenarios?

To stress-test profitability across growth scenarios, the calculator models best, base, and worst cases using your baseline CAC, LTV, and margin inputs. This scenario analysis reveals how different growth paths impact contribution margin and payback periods.

Can I override gross margin assumptions when computing contribution margin?

Yes, you can use an optional gross-margin override when computing contribution margin. This allows you to manually adjust profitability assumptions alongside standard inputs like ARPU and monthly churn to better reflect your specific service or SaaS cost structure.

What inputs do I need to calculate CAC payback period for a new venture?

To calculate the CAC payback period for a new venture, you need ARPU, COGS, CAC, and monthly churn inputs. These variables compute the time required to recover acquisition costs and generate a complete unit economics health assessment.
