CAC Considerations and Best Practices

  • CAC is most importantly related to LTV (Customer Lifetime Value). A good CAC ratio is generally accepted as 3:1. Meaning a customer is worth 3 times more than the cost to acquire them over the course of the customer lifetime.
  • Reducing CAC can be crucial for SaaS Companies. The main way to reduce your CAC is optimizing your Sales and Marketing Funnel (the ratios included as inputs in this calculator).
