These metrics count money in the bank per enrollment, after refunds and failed payments. | Metric | What it tells you | How to work it out | | --- | --- | --- | | Cost per enrollment | What one new student cost in ad spend, by campaign and by launch. | Ad spend ÷ new enrollments | | Cash collected per enrollment | How much each enrolled student has actually paid so far, net of refunds. | Installments collected ÷ enrollments | | Refund and chargeback rate | The share of booked revenue lost to refunds, disputes and failed payments. | (Refunds + chargebacks) ÷ booked revenue | | Plan completion rate | The share of students on a payment plan who pay every installment. | Students fully paid ÷ students on a plan | ## Common questions Have another question? [Contact us](/contact-us). What is a good cost per enrollment for a coaching program? A good cost per enrollment is one that the cash you actually collect can cover with room to spare. Base it on collected revenue, not the sticker price. If a $6,000 program collects $5,100 on average after refunds and missed payments, and you want ads under 20% of that, your ceiling is $1,020 per enrollment. How do payment plans change how I measure ad performance? Payment plans mean booked revenue overstates what a campaign earned. A $6,000 sale on six payments is worth $6,000 only if every payment clears. Measure cash collected per enrollment instead, and update it each month as installments, refunds and chargebacks come through. Compare campaigns on that number, not on sales booked. How do I count payment plan defaults and refunds in my acquisition cost? Take them off revenue before you judge the campaign. Work out cash collected per enrollment after refunds, chargebacks and missed payments, then compare it with cost per enrollment. Track both by campaign and launch, because some audiences refund at twice the rate of others. A CSV from your payment processor keeps the numbers current as plans run. How much should I spend on Facebook ads for a course launch? Set the budget from the enrollments you want and the cost per enrollment you can afford. If you want 50 students and can pay $800 each, plan about $40,000. Most launch spend lands in a 7 to 14 day window, so put it on its own capped card before the cart opens and check cost per enrollment daily. Can I track cash collected per enrollment, not just sales booked? Yes. Upload a CSV export from your payment processor with each student's installments, refunds and chargebacks. Flyweel lines it up with the enrollment and the Meta, Google or TikTok campaign behind it. Pipedrive connects directly for deal stages, with HubSpot and Salesforce on the roadmap. Flyweel does not connect to course platforms or learning systems. Can I get financing for launch ad spend? Yes, if your business is in the US. Flyweel Performance Capital is ad spend financing built for ads, with limits based on performance rather than personal credit. It does not fund your students' payment plans. Outside the US, the reporting, reconciliation and AI agent work the same way. Is Flyweel free for course creators and coaches? Yes. It costs nothing to start, and you do not need a credit card. Starter includes AdGrid, the AI agent and reconciliation. Put $25k a month of launch and evergreen spend on Flyweel cards and the platform is $0, with no cap on ad accounts. ### Further reading [![Serif headline reading The CAC Payback Gap, with CAC in pixel type, over a dark green gradient with a rising striped curve](/_vercel/image?url=_astro%2Fcac-payback-gap-hero.CB6PBC9D.webp&w=640&q=100&dpl=dpl_7WmgkHy6QbtsWbvFm1qrjbp25kXq) ### The CAC Payback Gap: How Scaling Advertisers Fund Ad Spend Without Pausing Campaigns When ad spend converts, revenue outgrows liquid cash.
