Retention Curve Calculator

Fit a power-law curve to your early cohort retention and project it out to a year.

D1 (%)
D3 (%)
D7 (%)
D30 (%)
Leave a field at 0 to exclude it — at least two values are required to fit a curve. Including D30 meaningfully improves the accuracy of long-range predictions.
