About This Calculator

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) measures how much it costs, on average, to acquire a single new customer — combining sales and marketing spend divided by the number of new customers gained in the same period.

How This Is Calculated

CAC = Total Sales & Marketing Spend ÷ New Customers Acquired

$30,000 in spend that acquired 150 new customers gives a CAC of $200 per customer.

Assumptions

  • Includes all sales and marketing spend for the period, not just ad spend — salaries, tools, and content costs are often included in a full CAC calculation.
  • Assumes the spend and new customers are measured over the same time period.

Frequently Asked Questions

A thorough CAC calculation includes ad spend, sales team salaries and commissions, marketing tool subscriptions, content production costs, and any other expense directly tied to acquiring customers — not just paid advertising.
