Customer Acquisition Cost Calculator

Understanding Customer Acquisition Cost

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is a key metric that measures the cost of acquiring a new customer, encompassing all marketing and sales expenses. Understanding your CAC is crucial because:

• It helps you determine the effectiveness of your marketing strategies.
• Optimize your budget.
• Maximize your return on investment (ROI).

Knowing your CAC allows you to assess how much you're spending to gain each new customer and compare it against the lifetime value (LTV) of those customers by finding your LTV-to-CAC ratio. This balance is vital for sustainable growth, ensuring you're not overspending on acquisition relative to what customers bring in over time.
