Calculate the payback curves for three channels: Facebook (CAC $50, ARPU $10, Margin 70%, Expansion 2%), Google (CAC $80, ARPU $15, Margin 60%, Expansion 0%), and LinkedIn (CAC $120, ARPU $30, Margin 80%, Expansion 5%) over 12 months.

The projection shows Facebook reaching payback in month 8, Google in month 10, and LinkedIn in month 6. The cumulative margin for LinkedIn grows most aggressively due to the higher expansion rate.

Which of these channels is the most efficient: Channel A with 5 month payback or Channel B with 8 month payback?

Channel A is more efficient as it reaches its break-even point in 5 months, compared to 8 months for Channel B.

How should I allocate a $10,000 budget if my top channel has a 3-month payback and my second has a 6-month payback, with a minimum of $2,000 per channel?

The optimized allocation suggests assigning $8,000 to the 3-month payback channel and $2,000 to the 6-month payback channel to maximize capital velocity.

The tool calculates the monthly gross margin by applying your margin percentage to the ARPU. It then tracks the cumulative profit month-over-month, accounting for any expansion rate, until it meets or exceeds the initial CAC.
