Your numbers

Current revenue. What your app bills per month today. Not used in the calculation: it only compares today with the projection.
$

Optional. We only use it to build the comparison from where you are today to where you can get.

Subscription price. What each subscriber pays per month. Where to find it: your pricing page / app store.
$
Gross margin. Price minus payment/store fees and the cost to serve each user. Where to find it: your finance / P&L.
%

Subscription price minus payment/store fees and the cost to serve each user.

Ad spend. Monthly budget on paid ads. Where to find it: your ads manager.
$

Funnel & churn

CPI. Average cost of each app install. Where to find it: ads manager / MMP.
$
Conversion. Of every 100 installs, how many become paying subscribers. Where to find it: your app analytics.
%
Churn. % of subscribers who cancel each month. It sets the average lifetime (1 ÷ churn) and caps LTV.
%

Share of subscribers who cancel each month.

Agency retainer. Optional. If you pay an agency or media-buying service, it's included in net profit. Leave blank if you don't.

Scaling scenarios

As you raise the budget, CPI climbs (you saturate high-intent installers and start buying colder traffic), so CAC rises and the LTV:CAC ratio compresses. The table already bakes in that gradual increase. It's intentional, and it's how it works in the real world.

Scaling levers

You can grow by pulling four levers. It's not just "spend more".

CAC ↓

Lower CAC

Better creative and targeting reduce cost per subscriber.

Churn ↓

Reduce churn

Keeping users longer raises LTV without spending more on ads.

LTV ↑

Raise LTV

Pricing, upsell and annual plans raise value per subscriber.

Budget ↑

Scale the budget

With healthy unit economics, more budget turns into more MRR.

How these numbers were calculated
This is a projection, not a guarantee. Real results depend on your app, onboarding, pricing, store ranking, seasonality and execution. LTV here is gross-margin adjusted and capped by churn: average subscriber lifetime is 1 ÷ monthly churn, so 5% churn means a 20-month lifetime, not forever. CAC comes from spend ÷ new subscribers, and month-12 MRR compounds new subscribers minus each month's churn. As you scale, CPI rises because audiences saturate, so a healthy LTV:CAC does not hold linearly. Use it as a compass, not a contract.
