THE PPA CALCULATOR

PPA = LTV − CTA − CTF. The one number that compounds.

Plug in your Lifetime Value, Cost to Acquire, and Cost to Fulfill by channel. The calculator scores each channel's PPA, flags the highest and lowest, and shows the spread you're sitting on. Numbers stay on your device - nothing is sent.

A positive PPA means the channel compounds. A negative PPA means you're paying to grow. The spread between best and worst is the leverage hiding in your mix - shift acquisition dollars toward the highest PPA channel and watch the next quarter's math change.
