Expert Tip

Acquiring a new customer is up to 5 times more expensive than retaining an existing one.

How this Calculator Works

The Customer Retention Rate indicates the percentage of existing customers a business keeps over a given period. It excludes new customer acquisitions.

Formula & Methodology

Retention Rate = ((End Customers - New Customers) / Start Customers) * 100

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Here is a step-by-step example showing how the calculations are performed:

If Start = 500, End = 530, and New = 80: - Retention Rate = ((530 - 80) / 500) * 100 = (450 / 500) * 100 = 90.0%

FAQ

What is a healthy LTV to CAC ratio for subscription businesses?
A target LTV:CAC ratio of 3:1 or higher is generally considered healthy for SaaS and subscription models, indicating sustainable marketing ROI without overspending on acquisition.
How is the Break-even point calculated?
Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / (Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit). It determines the sales volume required to cover total operational expenses without profit or loss.
Can online business calculators replace professional financial auditing?
No. These calculators provide strategic modeling and decision support. Formal financial reporting, tax planning, and GAAP/IFRS audits require a certified public accountant (CPA) or financial advisor.
