What the result means
Healthy SaaS pricing should cover delivery cost, contribute to CAC payback, and support gross margin without increasing churn excessively.
Required price = cost per customer ÷ (1 − target margin). CAC recovery price = CAC ÷ payback months. Recommended price = required price + CAC recovery price.
Pricing should be tested against willingness to pay, churn, customer segment, and product value.
Example calculation
With $25 cost per customer, $600 CAC, 80% margin target, and 12-month payback, required price is $125 and CAC recovery is $50, so recommended price is $175.
Tips for better results
- Use tiers to separate low and high willingness to pay.
- Improve CAC payback before scaling ads.
- Monitor churn after price changes.
