No. It’s a deterministic sanity check: no churn curve, no discounting, no cohort weighting. Use it to see whether your acquisition cost is in the right ballpark, not to project cash flow.

Where do I get orders per year and years retained?

From your store’s repeat-purchase report, or estimate conservatively. If you don’t know, 1 order per year and 1 year retained gives you a floor: CLV equals one order’s profit.

Why does LTV:CAC show a dash?

Because acquisition cost is zero. Enter your blended cost per new customer (ad spend ÷ new customers) to see the ratio.

Are the defaults industry benchmarks?

No — they’re an illustrative example so the page isn’t empty on load. Replace them with your numbers.

Profit vs acquisition cost

Lifetime profit$79

Acquisition cost$28

Simple model: AOV × orders per year × years × margin. No discounting, no churn curve — good for a sanity check, not a forecast.

You can spend up to $79 to win a customer and still break even — at $28 you keep $51 per customer.

How it works

1
Lifetime revenue = average order value × orders per year × years retained.
2
Lifetime profit applies your gross margin to that revenue.
3
LTV:CAC divides lifetime profit by what it costs to acquire a customer; 3:1 is the rule of thumb many operators use.
4
Payback is how many months of purchases it takes to earn the acquisition cost back.
