"nCAC is $53." Good or bad?

Nobody in the room can answer that. "$53 against a breakeven of $66" — now you know you can scale. A number without its threshold decided nothing. This works out yours from two inputs you already have.

What's inside

A calculator, not a checklist.

Enter your margin and your first-order AOV. Every threshold below computes live and reads your own numbers against them. No spreadsheet, and nothing you type is sent anywhere — it runs entirely in your browser.

  • Breakeven nCACThe most you can pay for a customer and still make money on the first order.
  • Max nCAC at six monthsThe ceiling if you're willing to wait for the repeat purchase to arrive.
  • Breakeven NC-ROAS and MERThe same formula at two different scopes, and why the gap between them is the rest of your marketing.
  • The eleven numbersSplit across three cadences: what to read monthly, what to read weekly, what to read quarterly.
  • Every formula, written outContribution, payback, six-month compound, repeat rate. Nothing hidden behind a black box.
  • What's excluded, and whyCPA, blended ROAS, LTV to CAC, CPM, CTR, CVR. Each one has a reason it didn't make the set.
The rule behind it.

A metric earns its place by changing a decision. Everything else is a screenshot.

Every threshold here comes out of your own P&L. None of them is a benchmark borrowed from a brand that isn't yours, which is exactly why the calculator asks for your numbers instead of quoting somebody else's.

Where should I send it?
