How is… Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) calculated?
CAC=
(New Customer Count period 1 - period 0) /
Sales & Marketing Expense period 0
The Customer Acquisition Cost is the average cost to acquire a new customer and is calculated as the Sales & Marketing expense in a given period divided by New Customers acquired in the same period.
What is…
CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) Payback Period
And how is it calculated?
CAC Payback Period =
CAC / Average Monthy Gross Profit
The CAC Payback Period is the number of months required to pay back the associated customer acquisition costs and is calculated as the CAC divided by the Average Monthly Gross Profit.

SaaS Magic Number
And how is it calculated?
Magic Number=
(ARR Period 1-APP Period 0) / Sale Marketing Expense
A SaaS metric is used to measure a company’s sales efficiency using a ratio of New Subscription Revenue to Sales & Marketing (S&M) expense. Put another way, the Magic Number shows how much it costs to acquire $1.00 of subscription revenue. Any ratio above 1.0x means that your company generates more New Subscription Bookings than it spends to acquire the customer.
The most accepted formula is to use a ratio of the increase in ARR in the current period to the S&M expense in the prior period. The difference between the two periods should correspond to the length of the sale cycle. This is especially true for high growth, i.e. 3x annual ARR growth, companies. Investors’ expectations are that the Magic Number should fall within a narrow range around 1.0x with any ratio above 3.0x indicating a phenomenal operational leverage
What is…
Sales Efficiency
And how is it calculated?
Sales Efficiency=
New Subscription Bookings Period 0 /
Annual Sales and Marketing Expense Period 0
An adaptation of the Magic Number for Enterprise SaaS companies. Long sales cycles and the variance in time of the sales cycles make defining the “prior period” S&M expense difficult. Therefore, in such cases, we use the Sales & Marketing expense in the same period as the New Subscription Bookings, whether actual or forecasted. For example, if you project $20M in New Subscription Bookings for a given fiscal year, then your Sales & Marketing expense should, in theory, be ~$20M to achieve a 1.0x ratio. Keep in mind the fact that ratios calculated in this manner will be lower than a Magic Number calculation exactly because you are using current period S&M expense. It would be very rare to see an Enterprise SaaS company achieve a 3.0x multiple

Win Rate
And how is it calculated?
Win Rate=
Won Opportunities / Won Opportunites + Lost Opportunities
The ratio of Opportunities Won over the total opportunities in the sales pipeline.
