How this Calculator Works

A simple business simulation. Total revenue is sales volume times price, expenses are volume times unit cost, and profit is revenue minus expenses.

Formula & Methodology

Revenue = Cups * Price Cost = Cups * Cost/Cup Profit = Revenue - Cost

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

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

If 200 cups are sold at $1.50 with ingredient cost $0.40: - Revenue = 200 * $1.50 = $300 - Cost = 200 * $0.40 = $80 - Profit = $300 - $80 = $220

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.
