CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)

Quick answer

What is cac (customer acquisition cost)?

The total amount spent, on average, to turn one stranger into one paying customer.

In plain English

CAC includes ad spend, tools and often time, divided by the number of customers acquired in that period. It's only a healthy number when it's comfortably lower than a customer's lifetime value.

Example

$3,000 spent on ads in a month that produced 20 customers = $150 CAC.

Why it matters

The Funnel Math Calculator shows CAC alongside ROAS so you can see, before you scale spend, whether the math actually works.
