Measure Loyalty, Grow Revenue
Instantly calculate retention rate, churn rate, repeat purchase rate, and customer lifetime value (CLV). Understand loyalty and optimize for long-term growth.
What is the Customer Retention Calculator?
A powerful analytics tool that measures how well your business keeps customers over time. Enter your customer cohort data — we calculate retention rate, churn rate, repeat purchase rate, and customer lifetime value (CLV).
Acquiring new customers costs 5-7x more than retaining existing ones. Yet most businesses don't track retention. Understand your true loyalty metrics, identify at-risk customers, and optimize for long-term revenue growth.
Everything you need to track customer loyalty
From retention rates to lifetime value — complete customer analytics.
Customer Retention Rate
Percentage of customers who stay with you over a specific period. High retention = healthy business.
Customer Churn Rate
Percentage of customers lost during a period. The inverse of retention — lower is better.
Repeat Purchase Rate
Percentage of customers who buy more than once. Shows product loyalty and satisfaction.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
Total revenue a customer generates throughout their relationship with your business.
Cohort Retention Analysis
Track retention by customer acquisition month. See if newer customers are more loyal.
Retention Improvement Scenarios

Increasing retention by 5% boosts profit 25-95%
Retention is the most profitable growth lever. Here's why.
It costs 5-7x more to acquire a new customer than retain an existing one. Retention pays.
Existing customers spend 67% more than new customers. They trust you and buy more.
High retention = predictable cash flow. Investors love subscription-style revenue stability.
Loyal customers refer friends. Retention drives acquisition indirectly.
Know what a customer is worth, then spend confidently to acquire more.
