Analyst worksheets

Software economics calculators

Make the arithmetic explicit before debating an investment. These browser-based tools use your assumptions, not benchmarks or promised outcomes.

SaaS ROI Calculator

Estimate first-year software investment, annual benefit, net benefit, ROI, and simple payback from your own cost and benefit assumptions.

Customer Acquisition Cost Calculator

Calculate total acquisition spending and CAC from marketing, sales, tooling or agency costs, and new customers in a consistent period.

Choose a decision boundary

Use SaaS ROI for a first-year cost and benefit scenario. Use customer acquisition cost for spending per new customer in one consistent period. Neither replaces a financial review or measures causation.

Compare software by operating fit, then document your inputs before relying on a result.
