Acquisition Funnel & Stage-by-Stage Economics
Live Backwards SimulationSales multiple if target is achieved at full budget cap.
Contractual down payment estimate (excludes escrow/timing).
Max CPL = (Target Sales Value × Marketing %) / (Target Units / Conversion Rate)
Target Sales Value: Target Sold Units × Average Contract Value.
Max Marketing Budget: Target Sales Value × (Marketing Budget % / 100).
Required Opportunities: ceil(Target Units / (Opportunity→Sale % / 100)).
Required SQLs: ceil(Required Opportunities / (SQL→Opportunity % / 100)).
Required Inbound Leads: ceil(Required SQLs / (Lead→SQL % / 100)).
Maximum Allowable CPL: Max Marketing Budget ÷ Required Inbound Leads.
Maximum Allowable CAC: Max Marketing Budget ÷ Target Sold Units.
ROAS at Budget Cap: Target Sales Value ÷ Max Marketing Budget (the sales-to-ad-spend multiple produced if the target sales value is achieved while using the full marketing budget).
Real estate performance marketing operates as a strict financial equation. Rather than setting ad budgets arbitrarily, this calculator derives your maximum allowable cost ceilings directly from your commercial sales targets.
In Advanced Mode, volumes calculate backwards from closed contracts to meetings, SQLs, and leads. If your opportunity closing rate increases from 20% to 25%, required meeting and lead volumes decrease deterministically, allowing higher allowable acquisition cost ceilings while preserving your target budget.
Illustrative Example: A developer in New Cairo aims to sell 20 residential units at an average price of 8,000,000 EGP (Total Target Sales Value: 160,000,000 EGP).
Allocating 2.5% of sales value to performance marketing provides a maximum budget of 4,000,000 EGP. With a 2.0% compound lead-to-sale closing rate, the campaign requires 1,000 inbound leads, establishing a maximum allowable Cost Per Lead (CPL) of 4,000 EGP, a maximum Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) of 200,000 EGP per closed contract, and a ROAS at Budget Cap of 40.0×.
