The simple version
Add up your total dating spend for a period (a month is easiest). Count how many times you got the outcome you're tracking. Divide spend by outcomes. That's your CPN.
Or tap Calculate my CPN below, answer a few quick questions, and get your number without doing the math yourself.
The full version
The full calculator lives inside the app. Same math, but logged per date instead of per month, with a per-girl breakdown and cost per hour alongside cost per nut.
One number tells you what's happening. The per-girl breakdown tells you what to do about it.
Time and outcome variations
Want time CPN too? Total hours spent dating in the period, divided by outcomes. It often tells a different story than dollars do.
Tracking a different outcome (a kiss, a second date)? The math is the same. Just keep the definition constant within a period.
How accurate is it?
The math is exact. The accuracy is only as good as your inputs. Outcomes are easy to count. Spend is easy to under-remember: the ubers, the pre-drinks, the parking.
Spot-check against your bank statement: add up the dating transactions for the month and compare with your guess. If your guess is low, use the bank number.
Start tracking properly
Once you've got a baseline, track per date going forward. The app takes seconds per entry and the first 3 days are free.
