- r = discount rate C = net cash flow (the profit) at time t (The initial cost of ac- quiring a customer would be a negative net cash flow at time 0.) How much are you worth to a given company if you continue to purchase its brand for the rest of your life? Many marketers are grappling with that question, but it's not easy to determine how much a customer is worth to a company over his or her lifetime. Calculating customer lifetime value can be very com- plicated. Intuitively, however, it can be a fairly simple net pres- ent value calculation, which incorporates the concept of the time value of money. To determine a basic customer lifetime value, each stream of profit (C, the net cash flow after costs are subtracted) is discounted back to its present value (PV) and then summed. The basic equation for calculating net present value (NPV) is: NPV can be calculated easily on most financial calculators or by using one of the calculators available on the Internet, such as the one found at…arrow_forward1.
