Startup Unit Economics & Pricing Model (Excel) — CAC, LTV, Break-Even & Scenarios
Does your pricing actually make money? Find out in five minutes.
Plug your numbers into one tab and this model instantly shows the metrics that decide whether a business works: contribution margin, CAC, LTV, the all-important LTV:CAC ratio, CAC payback, and your monthly break-even. A built-in scenario view shows how profit responds when sales come in below or above plan.
What's inside:
- A single Inputs tab you edit — the only tab you touch
- A live Results dashboard with all your key metrics and an automatic health check on your LTV:CAC
- A Scenarios tab showing profit at conservative, base, and optimistic volumes, with a built-in chart
- A plain-English guide to every metric, right inside the file
No setup, no broken formulas. Works in Excel 2016+, Microsoft 365, and Google Sheets.
Who it's for: founders, indie hackers, side-hustlers, and small-business owners pricing a product or preparing for investors who want clean unit economics without building a model from scratch.
This is a planning tool, not financial advice.
