Build the Model: SaaS Unit Economics

Finance

Scenario

Northwind Analytics sells a single B2B plan. The board wants a one-page unit-economics view before it approves next year's sales budget.

You have the raw inputs below. Build the derived lines in the workspace — the ones the board actually argues about: CAC, LTV, the ratio between them, payback, and what each customer contributes.

Round to two decimals. Give percentages as numbers (18.5, not 0.185).

Your task

Fill every cell in the workspace. Each is checked against a 2% tolerance band, so rounding differences are fine — a wrong formula is not.

Work down the sheet: row 2 depends on row 1, row 3 on row 2.
