SaaS Churn & Lifetime Value (LTV) Calculator

Understanding SaaS Churn and LTV Logic

In the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry, your growth depends on two primary levers: how many customers you acquire and how many you keep. This calculator helps you determine the health of your subscription business by analyzing your Churn Rate and Customer Lifetime Value (LTV).

How Churn Rate is Calculated

Customer Churn Rate is the percentage of your customers who leave your service during a specific time period. The formula used in this calculator is:

Churn Rate = (Customers Lost during Period / Customers at Start of Period) x 100

Calculating Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)

LTV represents the total net profit you expect to earn from a customer throughout their entire relationship with your company. It is a critical metric for determining how much you can afford to spend on marketing (Customer Acquisition Cost or CAC).

Our calculator uses the standard SaaS LTV formula:

LTV = Average Monthly Revenue (ARPU) x Gross Margin % x (1 / Churn Rate)

Example Scenario

Let's look at a realistic example for a mid-market B2B SaaS company:

  • Beginning Customers: 500
  • Customers Lost: 10 (per month)
  • ARPU: $100
  • Gross Margin: 85%

In this case, the Churn Rate is 2% (10/500). The implied Customer Lifetime is 50 months (1 / 0.02). The LTV would be $4,250 ($100 x 0.85 x 50). This means the company can profitably spend up to $1,400 to acquire a customer while maintaining a healthy 3:1 LTV/CAC ratio.

Why Gross Margin Matters in LTV

Many basic calculators ignore Gross Margin, but for accurate financial planning, it is essential. Gross Margin accounts for the cost of serving the customer (hosting fees, support staff, third-party APIs). If your ARPU is $100 but it costs you $20 to provide the service, your LTV should be based on the $80 profit, not the $100 revenue.

Calculation Breakdown

Oklahoma Tag, Tax, and Title Calculator Formula

Total Fees = Excise Tax + Title Fee + Annual Registration (Tag) Fee

Taxable Value = Vehicle Purchase Price - Trade-In Value

Excise Tax (Example Rate): $20.00 on first $1,500 of Taxable Value + 3.25% on the remaining value.

Title Fee: $11.00 (Fixed)

Registration Fee (Tiered): Varies based on Vehicle Age (e.g., $96 for new, down to $21 for 17+ years).

Formula Sources: OK Tax Commission, OK State Law (2019 Rate Chart)

Variables Used in the Calculator

  • Vehicle Purchase Price ($): The final price of the vehicle, excluding any additional fees or taxes.
  • Vehicle Age (Years): The age of the vehicle in years (0 for new, 1 for 1 year old, etc.). This determines the annual registration fee tier.
  • Trade-In Value ($): The value of your vehicle trade-in, which is subtracted from the Purchase Price to determine the Taxable Value.

What are Oklahoma Tag, Tax, and Title Fees?

The "Tag, Tax, and Title" fees are the three primary mandatory costs associated with registering a vehicle in Oklahoma. These fees must be paid to a licensed Tag Agent or the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) within 30 days of purchase. The **Title Fee** establishes legal ownership, the **Excise Tax** is a one-time sales tax on the transaction, and the **Tag Fee** is the annual registration fee required to legally drive the vehicle on public roads.

The most significant component is typically the Excise Tax, which is calculated based on the purchase price (or a vehicle's value). The annual Tag Fee is tiered, meaning newer vehicles pay a higher rate for the first few years, and the cost decreases significantly as the vehicle ages. This calculator simplifies the process by combining these elements into a single, accurate estimate.

How to Calculate Oklahoma Fees (Example)

Let's use an example: A 3-year-old car purchased for $20,000 with a $5,000 trade-in.

  1. Determine Taxable Value: $20,000 (Price) - $5,000 (Trade-In) = $15,000.
  2. Calculate Excise Tax: The first $1,500 is taxed at $20.00. The remaining $13,500 ($15,000 - $1,500) is taxed at 3.25%.
    $20.00 + ($13,500 * 0.0325) = $20.00 + $438.75 = $458.75.
  3. Add Title Fee: The fixed fee is $11.00.
  4. Determine Tag Fee: A 3-year-old vehicle falls into the 0-4 year age tier, requiring a $96.00 annual registration fee.
  5. Calculate Total Fees: $458.75 (Excise Tax) + $11.00 (Title Fee) + $96.00 (Tag Fee) = $565.75.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the Oklahoma Excise Tax rate?

The rate is tiered: $20.00 is charged on the first $1,500 of the vehicle's value, and a 3.25% rate is applied to the value above $1,500. This is calculated on the net purchase price after trade-in.

Do I pay excise tax on a trade-in?

No. Oklahoma allows you to subtract the value of your trade-in from the purchase price. You only pay the excise tax on the resulting difference, which is the Taxable Value.

How is the annual Tag Fee determined?

The Tag (registration) fee is determined solely by the age of the vehicle. It is highest for new cars and decreases significantly after the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, and 16th years of age.

When do I have to pay these fees?

The fees must be paid to an Oklahoma Tag Agent or the OTC within 30 days of purchasing the vehicle to avoid late penalties.
