Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate subscription pricing for my SaaS?
Start with your costs: add fixed costs (hosting, salaries) and variable costs per customer. Decide your target margin (70-80% is typical for SaaS). Then factor in your expected customer distribution across tiers. Our calculator does this automatically and shows your break-even point.
What is a good profit margin for subscription businesses?
Successful SaaS companies typically achieve 70-85% gross margins. Net profit margins vary widely: early-stage companies may operate at a loss while growing, while mature companies target 20-30% net margins. Focus on unit economics first – each customer should be profitable on their own.
How many pricing tiers should I offer?
Most successful SaaS products use 3 tiers: Basic/Starter, Professional/Pro, and Enterprise. This follows the "Goldilocks effect" where most customers choose the middle option. Some products succeed with 2 tiers, while complex enterprise products may have 4+ tiers with custom pricing.
What churn rate is acceptable for subscription businesses?
For B2B SaaS, under 3% monthly churn is excellent, 5-7% is average, and above 7% is concerning. B2C subscription services typically see higher churn (7-10%). Annual churn should ideally be under 10% for healthy SaaS businesses. Remember: reducing churn by even 1% significantly impacts lifetime value.
How do I calculate customer lifetime value (CLV)?
CLV = (Average Revenue Per User × Gross Margin) ÷ Churn Rate. For example, if ARPU is $50, gross margin is 80%, and monthly churn is 5%, CLV = ($50 × 0.80) ÷ 0.05 = $800. This tells you the maximum you should spend to acquire a customer while remaining profitable.
