What the calculator measures
The calculator combines lead volume, close rate, average customer value, and cost per lead to estimate customers, revenue, acquisition cost, net value, and return on spend.
Value per lead
Average customer value multiplied by close rate estimates the expected revenue contribution of one lead.
Expected customers
Lead volume multiplied by close rate estimates how many paying customers the lead pool may generate.
Estimated revenue
Expected customers multiplied by average customer value estimates total revenue from the entered leads.
Estimated net value
Estimated revenue minus total lead acquisition cost shows the value remaining before operating expenses.
Return on lead spend
Net value divided by lead cost expresses the estimated return as a percentage of acquisition spend.
Frequently asked questions
Lead Value Calculator FAQ
What is lead value?
Lead value is an estimate of the revenue contribution of one lead based on the percentage of leads that become customers and the average value of each customer.
How is value per lead calculated?
Value per lead equals the close rate expressed as a decimal multiplied by average customer value.
What close rate should I use?
Use a close rate calculated from reliable business records for a comparable lead source and reporting period.
Should customer value include repeat business?
You may use initial-job revenue or customer lifetime value, but clearly define the metric and use it consistently across comparisons.
Why can estimated net value be negative?
Net value becomes negative when estimated acquisition cost is higher than the revenue expected from the entered leads.
Does this calculator predict exact revenue?
No. The calculator provides planning estimates. Actual performance depends on lead quality, sales execution, pricing, cancellations, repeat business, and operating costs.
