LTV:CAC = Customer Lifetime Value / Customer Acquisition Cost
A 3:1 ratio is often used as a rough target, but the right threshold depends on margins, payback period, and growth stage. Use the calculator to test realistic retention assumptions.
Metrik-Definitionen
Was das Verhältnis bedeuten kann
| Ratio | Interpretation | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Below 1:1 | Acquisition costs more than the customer is worth | Fix retention or acquisition before scaling |
| 1:1 to 2:1 | Potentially viable, but thin | Improve onboarding, upsells, or conversion quality |
| 3:1 or higher | Often healthy for scaling | Watch payback and saturation as spend rises |
