How to choose the right calculator

Start with the business decision in front of you: pricing, profitability, growth, or unit economics. Use margin and markup for pricing checks, break-even for sales targets, and ROI, ROAS, CAC, or lifetime value when comparing investments and customer economics. Keep revenue and costs in the same period and currency before relying on the result.
