Subscription Box Profit Planner

For founders running or planning a subscription box who want to know what each box really earns and when the business pays back.

Box Builder costs up to 3 tiers from 45 component lines (product, packaging, printed inserts, fulfilment, shipping), with a breakdown by type. Plans handles up to 6 monthly, prepaid and gift plans: revenue, box cost, processing and platform fees and contribution per box, then churn per renewal converted to monthly churn, expected lifetime, LTV, LTV:CAC and CAC payback. The Forecast runs 24 months of new and active subscribers by plan, boxes shipped, revenue, costs, marketing, fixed costs, net and cumulative profit, and the Dashboard shows the first profitable month and payback month. Price Tester tries up to 7 price changes on one plan, each with the churn you expect at that price.

Included: worked-example and blank workbooks (7 sheets, 665 formulas) and a 4-page guide (US Letter and A4).

Processing and platform fees are editable inputs with a dated source: verify your provider's current rates. Revenue is counted per box shipped; prepaid cash timing isn't modelled. General information, not financial, tax or investment advice.
