Sample thresholds met
The entered counts meet this tool's arithmetic sufficiency thresholds; this remains an input-based calculation.
This is arithmetic from your inputs, not a market benchmark, attribution guarantee, or financial advice.
Worked example
Cash and effort in one acquisition period.
Exact result
Full cost cents 60000; per win 200.000000; break-even wins 2; full net cents 30000.
How to read it
With these inputs, full acquisition cost is 600, observed cost per win is 200, two wins cover that full cost at a contribution of 300 each, and three wins leave a full arithmetic difference of 300. This input-based scenario is neither a budget recommendation nor a forecast.
A visible method
Keep the assumptions in one place.
Name the period
Use date-only boundaries and make sure the counts and costs use the same attribution period.
Value the effort
Enter cash, hours, and the time value you choose. The tool does not fill a rate or infer one.
Read the difference
Compare the cash-only and full arithmetic differences, per-unit costs, observed rates, and a small-sample notice.
Read this before using the number
Your contribution is your input.
This is arithmetic from your inputs, not a market benchmark, attribution guarantee, or financial advice.

FAQ
The boundaries are part of the tool.
What does the time cost represent?
Enter the time you chose to count for this period and your own value for one hour. The tool converts both to integer fixed-point values locally, then shows cash and time costs separately.
Why is a break-even count sometimes blank?
A count is shown only when full acquisition cost is positive and your user-defined contribution per won project is positive. Zero cost is shown as zero; a non-positive contribution is shown as not applicable rather than a financial conclusion.
Are the rates a market benchmark?
No. Proposal and win rates are observed ratios from the counts you enter in one attribution period. A small-sample notice appears below the thresholds in the brief.
Where does my data go?
The calculation runs in this browser and does not save input values, put them in a URL, or connect to an ad account, CRM, payment service, or customer list. tool pages send no analytics requests. On enabled production pages, allowing analytics sends Google usage events without input values; only your analytics preference is saved.
