Frequently Asked Questions

The required metrics vary by calculator. For the Basic CLV Calculator, you'll need average purchase value, purchase frequency, and typical customer lifespan. The Detailed Calculator requires total revenue, purchase counts, customer numbers, churn rate, profit margin, and discount rate. The Segment Analysis needs these metrics for each customer group. The Acquisition ROI Calculator additionally requires your customer acquisition costs, while the Improvement Simulator uses your existing CLV metrics as a baseline for testing potential changes. Each calculator includes example data to help you understand what information to gather.

These calculators provide reliable estimates based on your input data. The Basic Calculator offers a simplified view, while the Detailed Calculator incorporates more variables for greater accuracy. That said, CLV models are projections based on historical data and assumptions about future customer behavior. For best results, regularly update your inputs as your business evolves, and use the calculators as directional tools rather than precise predictions.

No specialized skills are required. These Google Sheets calculators are designed to be user-friendly with clear input cells and automatic calculations. Simply replace the example data with your own metrics in the highlighted input cells, and all calculations will update automatically. Each calculator includes notes and instructions to guide you through the process.

These tools transform raw data into strategic insights across multiple business areas. Use them to determine appropriate customer acquisition spending, identify which segments deserve more retention efforts, evaluate the potential ROI of customer experience improvements, optimize pricing strategies, and forecast how different business changes might impact customer value. By understanding the lifetime value of different customer relationships, you can allocate resources more effectively and prioritize initiatives with the highest potential return.

Yes! While the calculators work out-of-the-box with the provided structure, they're built in Google Sheets so you can modify them to better fit your business. You might add industry-specific metrics, adjust time periods, or incorporate additional segments. The core formulas will still work as long as you maintain their fundamental structure. We recommend making a copy of the original calculators before customizing them, so you always have the baseline version for reference.
