Show HN: SaaS Business Model Calculator

I would love to have a percent growth (e.g.: 10% more customers each month is very different than 100 more customers each month)

Hi, the creator here.

I've been playing around with a lot of SaaS ideas in my head and needed a tool that would allow me to play around with different pricing strategies. I hope this tool will help someone on their journey to creating a SaaS company.

Nice. A couple of thoughts:

- Most businesses have fixed costs, like developer salaries.

- Some products are paid for in arrears (e.g. 30/60 days after invoice)

- Many SaaS businesses have multiple products with different characteristics. You could allow people to add multiple products, each with LTV/CAC/churn etc. If you're feeling ambitious you could even add a way to express 'x℅ of customers using product A this month will upgrade to product B from next month'. Like churn, but adding to a different income stream.

I would love if this could show a growth of customers in percentage too.

Hard part is LTV and churn are very hard to predict early. Extreme case everyone's LTV at month 1 is 1 months fee.

Hi, great tool! Boils down SaaS modeling to the key metrics that matter.

I'm not sure if you've thought of this / have it in the works, but a way of saving a set of scenarios would be really nice :)

You could probably just store them using a permalink or something
