How to Read Your Results
This calculator breaks your business into three layers — because a brand can look profitable at one level and be bleeding at another.
- The Verdict — Your headline health check. Are you making or losing money per customer? This is the single most important number.
- CAC — Customer Acquisition Cost. What you pay in ads to get one new buyer. Compare this to your gross profit per order.
- ROAS & Breakeven ROAS — Your actual ad return vs. the minimum needed. Breakeven ROAS = 1 / gross margin %.
- LTV:CAC — Lifetime gross profit divided by CAC. The benchmark is 3x+. Below that, you're overpaying for customers.
- Net Monthly P&L — The full picture including fixed costs. Good unit economics mean nothing if OPEX eats your margin.
- CAC Payback — (SaaS) Months to recoup acquisition cost from gross margin. Under 12 months is good; under 6 is great.
For a deeper dive, check out my breakdown of two brands with identical ROAS but wildly different profits.
