The nCAC & Payback Calculator

A benchmark CPA won't tell you whether you make money on a new customer. nCAC and payback will. This is the spreadsheet I'd want every founder to fill in before a budget meeting.

what's inside

  • Payback by channel, with nCAC from your store data instead of the ad platform
  • Your nCAC ceiling, the most you can pay for a new customer and still hit your payback target
  • A big promo scenario, so you see what 30% off sitewide does to payback before you run it
  • Cohort payback, the month a real cohort actually earned back what you paid
  • A short PDF guide on where to pull every number

Who it's for: DTC and omnichannel CPG and wellness brands spending real money on Meta, Google or creators.

"Josh is a go-to for anything DTC marketing, acquisition, and overall strategy. On top of that, he has a deep insight for the analytics, key metrics, and financial health of your business."

Anton Krecic, CEO/Founder, Seven Weeks Coffee
