How to use this calculator
- Enter AOV.
- Add gross margin.
- Estimate purchases per customer.
- Enter CAC to compare value against acquisition cost.
Estimate WooCommerce LTV using average order value, margin, purchase frequency, lifespan, and CAC. Use the result to judge retention, email marketing, and acquisition quality.
The result estimates lifetime gross profit per customer and compares it with CAC.
Cohort retention data will make the model more precise.
AOV $100, margin 60%, and 3 purchases gives $180 LTV. CAC $30 gives 6:1 LTV:CAC.
A good WooCommerce LTV exceeds CAC by at least 3 times and supports profitable retention campaigns.
Use email marketing, subscriptions, loyalty rewards, bundles, and repeat purchase offers.
A common healthy target is 3:1 or higher, depending on margin and cash flow.
The ideal frequency depends on product type, but more repeat purchases improve LTV and CAC payback.
Multiply AOV by gross margin and average purchases per customer, then compare it with CAC.
