### CAC Comparison

Compare CLV to Customer Acquisition Cost for profitability analysis.

### CLV Calculation

Average purchase × frequency × lifespan = Customer Lifetime Value.

### Profit Per Customer

See the actual dollar profit each customer generates over their lifetime.

### CLV:CAC Ratio

The golden metric, excellent (3:1+), good (2-3:1), breakeven (1-2:1), losing (<1:1).

## FAQ

### What is a good CLV:CAC ratio?

3:1 is the benchmark, every $1 in acquisition returns $3 in lifetime value. Below 1:1 means you're losing money on each customer.

### How do I increase CLV?

Increase purchase frequency (loyalty programs), increase average order value (upsells), or extend customer lifespan (retention programs).

### What inputs should I use?

Use actual data from your business. Average purchase value from sales records, frequency from transaction data, lifespan from churn rate (1 / churn rate = lifespan in periods).
