Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Ratio is a sales and marketing efficiency metric that measures the return on investment from customer acquisition efforts. It calculates how many dollars of new subscription revenue (adjusted for gross margin) a company generates for each dollar spent on sales and marketing. Unlike simple revenue multiples, CAC Ratio accounts for the actual profit economics of delivering the service by incorporating gross margin, providing a more accurate picture of unit economics and capital efficiency.
