Frequently Asked Questions

LTV = Average Order Value × Purchase Frequency per Year × Customer Lifespan in Years × Profit Margin %. It estimates the total profit (not revenue) a typical customer generates over their relationship with your store.

It's an estimate you supply — based on how long your typical customer keeps buying before churning. If you don't have exact data, a reasonable estimate from your own repeat-purchase patterns is fine; this tool doesn't calculate lifespan for you.

Profit — the formula multiplies by your profit margin %, so the result is the estimated lifetime PROFIT per customer, not their lifetime spend.

Compare it to your Customer Acquisition Cost using the LTV:CAC Ratio Calculator — a healthy ratio is commonly cited as 3:1 or higher.
