LTV Guide
How Is LTV Calculated?
Simple LTV = ARPU / Churn Rate. With gross margin: LTV = (ARPU x Gross Margin) / Churn Rate. Avg. customer lifetime = 1 / Churn Rate.
LTV = ARPU / Churn | LTV(GM) = (ARPU × GM%) / Churn Why Is LTV/CAC Ratio Important?
LTV/CAC ratio shows customer unit economics. Below 3x is unsustainable. 3-5x is healthy, above 5x is excellent. Below 1x means losing money on every customer.
How to Increase LTV?
- Reduce churn — biggest lever. 5% to 2% churn increases LTV 2.5x.
- Increase ARPU — pricing optimization, upsell, cross-sell.
- Improve onboarding — early-stage churn is highest.
- Build customer success team — proactive support increases retention.
Info
LTV (Lifetime Value) is the total revenue a customer brings during their relationship with your business. It forms the basis for marketing budget, pricing, and growth strategy decisions.
In SaaS, 3:1 is considered the minimum healthy ratio. You should get at least 3 TL lifetime value for every 1 TL customer acquisition cost. Above 5:1 is ideal.
Recovering customer acquisition cost within 12 months is recommended. 18+ month payback creates cash flow issues. Payback = CAC / (ARPU x Gross Margin).
