Methodology for systematically calculating startup unit economics (LTV, CAC, margin, BEP).

What it does

Unit Economics Calculator is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. Methodology for systematically calculating startup unit economics (LTV, CAC, margin, BEP). Use this skill for 'unit economics calculation', 'LTV calculation', 'CAC analysis', 'break-even point', 'per-customer economics', 'unit profitability', and other unit economics analysis tasks. Note: bookkeeping, tax filing, and financial auditing are outside the scope of this skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial modeling. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Unit economics calculation
  • LTV calculation
  • Break-even point
  • Per-customer economics

Example prompts

  • “unit economics calculation”
  • “LTV calculation”
  • “CAC analysis”
  • “/unit-economics-calculator”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Unit Economics Calculator loads about 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 72 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~668

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Unit Economics Calculator — Unit Economics Calculation Methodology

A skill that enhances the business-modeler's financial analysis capabilities.

Target Agents

  • business-modeler — Calculates unit economics systematically
  • launch-reviewer — Validates financial assumptions

Core Metrics

CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)
CAC = Total Marketing & Sales Spend / New Customers Acquired

Components:
- Advertising spend (paid channels)
- Sales team costs (salary + commission)
- Marketing tool costs
- Content production costs

Blended CAC vs. Channel-specific CAC
LTV (Lifetime Value)
Simple: LTV = ARPU x Average Customer Lifespan
Detailed: LTV = ARPU x Gross Margin x (1 / Churn Rate)

For subscription:
  LTV = Monthly ARPU x Gross Margin x (1 / Monthly Churn Rate)

For e-commerce:
  LTV = AOV x Purchase Frequency x Customer Lifespan x Gross Margin
Key Ratios
LTV/CAC Ratio:
  < 1x: Unsustainable (losing money per customer)
  1-3x: Improving but risky
  >= 3x: Healthy (industry benchmark)
  > 5x: May be underinvesting in growth

Payback Period:
  = CAC / Monthly Gross Profit per Customer
  Target: <= 12 months (SaaS), <= 6 months (e-commerce)

Gross Margin:
  = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue x 100
  SaaS target: 70-85%
  E-commerce target: 30-50%
  Marketplace target: 60-80% (of take rate)
Break-Even Point (BEP)
BEP (units) = Fixed Costs / (Price - Variable Cost per Unit)
BEP (revenue) = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio

Monthly BEP:
  Fixed monthly costs / (ARPU - Variable cost per user)

Scenario Analysis Template

| Metric | Conservative | Base | Optimistic |
|--------|-------------|------|-----------|
| Monthly new customers | | | |
| Churn rate | | | |
| ARPU | | | |
| CAC | | | |
