What is CAC Payback Period?
CAC Payback Period is the number of months required to recover the sales and marketing spend used to acquire a new customer. It is calculated as: CAC ÷ (Monthly Recurring Revenue per Customer × Gross Margin).
Benchmarks: Best-in-class SaaS companies target under 12 months. Enterprise SaaS companies with complex sales cycles commonly see 18–30 months. Above 36 months is a red flag for capital efficiency.
