Customer Lifetime Value (LTV/CLV) Calculator

Use this LTV calculator to estimate long term revenue per customer so you can judge if your CAC and CS investments make sense over the full relationship.

Calculate your Customer Lifetime Value

Add your average monthly revenue per customer, the average lifespan in months and the CAC you spend to win that customer. The result shows the net LTV after acquisition cost.

Tip: Use data from your core customer segment so your ratio reflects the customers that matter most.
Average cost in dollars to acquire one new paying customer.
Average monthly recurring revenue per active customer in this segment.
How long a typical customer stays active and paying before churn.
A healthy SaaS model often targets LTV that is several times higher than CAC. If the ratio is poor, you either lower CAC, extend lifespan or improve ARPU through expansion and better CS.
