Profit-first ad economics

Ad Constraint Calculator

Find the one metric capping your profitable growth before you spend another dollar on ads.

How to use this

  1. Set your numbers. Fill in the Offer & Target fields, then drag each slider to match your agency’s real funnel. Nothing here is assumed; the model only knows what you tell it.
  2. Read the diagnosis. The model finds your single biggest constraint, the one lever that lifts your Lifetime Gross Profit to CAC ratio the most.
  3. Watch the math. LTGP:CAC is the one metric that matters. Below 10:1 is low for agency offers, 10:1 is healthy, 20:1+ means you can scale spend.
  4. Solve one lever at a time. Fix the binding constraint, then chase the next biggest one. There is always a next constraint, even when you are profitable.
  5. Use the deep dive. Scenarios rank every lever, Action Plan gives you the play, and Formula shows the math behind each number.
