Your Best Donors Are Worth More Than You Think

 Use this donor Lifetime Value (LTV) calculator to see what each donor contributes over time and uncover where small retention gains create big revenue. 

 Most nonprofits track one-time gift size, not lifetime value, and miss where the real revenue lives. Donor Lifetime Value (LTV) shows you what a donor is worth across their full relationship with your organization: average gift × frequency × lifespan. Enter your real numbers below to calculate LTV by donor, identify your highest-value supporters, and build a smarter retention and upgrade strategy. Once you know your LTV, even small improvements like better retention or a modest frequency lift compound into significant revenue. 

Donor Lifetime Value Calculator

Enter your donor data and we'll calculate each donor's lifetime value automatically: average donation × donation frequency × donor lifespan.
