SaaS Pricing Calculator
Estimate a sustainable SaaS subscription price based on customer delivery costs, target gross margin, acquisition cost, and desired pricing model.
Cost-Based Minimum Price =
Monthly Cost ÷ (1 − Target Gross Margin)
CAC Recovery Component =
CAC ÷ Target CAC Payback Months
CAC-Aware Price =
Monthly Cost + CAC Recovery Component
Recommended Price =
Higher of Cost-Based Minimum and CAC-Aware Price
Gross Profit =
Recommended Price − Monthly Cost
Gross Margin =
Gross Profit ÷ Recommended Price × 100
This calculator provides a planning estimate, not a definitive market price. SaaS pricing should also consider customer value, competitor positioning, willingness to pay, usage levels, support requirements, taxes, payment fees, discounts, churn, and pricing experimentation. CAC payback is simplified and assumes the calculated monthly gross profit is available to recover acquisition cost.
