Why this matters
A product is viable when each client is worth more over their lifetime than it costs to win and serve them, and when enough clients eventually cover your fixed costs. Most teams decide a price by feel, then discover the model leaks money on every client won.
This calculator splits the question in two. Unit economics asks whether one client pays off, contribution, lifetime value, and the LTV:CAC ratio. The five-year projection asks whether the business does, once fixed costs and a growing client base are in, and tells you the first profitable year, the J-curve, and the price you'd need for your target margin.
What it changes
What's inside
- Assumptions, the one tab you edit: package prices and mix, costs, acquisition, churn, market, target margin
- Unit economics, ARPC, contribution, gross margin, LTV, CAC payback and the LTV:CAC ratio
- Market: TAM, SAM and SOM in both clients and rupees
- Projections: a five-year client base, revenue, costs and operating profit, with the J-curve
- Dashboard: headline metrics, the pricing verdict, and the first profitable year
- Benchmarks + Word companion guide: indicative figures with sources, plus the logic and how to act on the verdict
