Customer Churn Prediction — Confusion Matrix & Metrics Calculator

Compute accuracy, precision, recall, F1, specificity, MCC and more for customer churn prediction from TP/FP/FN/TN counts.

Accuracy (%)
Precision (%)
Recall (sensitivity) (%)
F1 score
Specificity (%)
Matthews corr. (MCC)

Churn models guide retention spend, so the relevant question is whether an intervention's cost is justified by the precision of your 'will churn' flags and the recall of at-risk customers you actually reach. This computes both alongside the lift that retention teams report to finance.

Formula

precision = TP/(TP+FP) · recall = TP/(TP+FN) · F1 = 2PR/(P+R) · specificity = TN/(TN+FP) · MCC = (TP·TN−FP·FN)/√((TP+FP)(TP+FN)(TN+FP)(TN+FN))

About Customer Churn Prediction — Confusion Matrix & Metrics Calculator

Churn models guide retention spend, so the relevant question is whether an intervention's cost is justified by the precision of your 'will churn' flags and the recall of at-risk customers you actually reach. This computes both alongside the lift that retention teams report to finance. Enter the four confusion-matrix counts and this calculator returns every standard metric — accuracy, precision, recall (sensitivity), F1, specificity and the Matthews correlation coefficient — recomputed live. MCC is highlighted because it is the most honest single number for imbalanced problems: it only scores high when the model does well across all four quadrants, unlike accuracy or F1 which can be gamed.

Frequently asked questions

Should a churn model optimize precision or recall?+

It depends on intervention cost. Cheap interventions (an email) favor recall — reach everyone at risk. Expensive ones (a human call, a discount) favor precision — only spend on likely-churners. The right operating point is where intervention cost equals retained customer value.

What is 'lift' in churn modeling?+

Lift measures how much better your model targets churners than random selection. If 15% of customers churn but your top-decile flags churn 60% of the time, that's 4× lift — the number retention teams use to justify the model's ROI versus blanket campaigns.

Why is MCC considered the most reliable single metric?+

MCC uses all four confusion-matrix cells and behaves like a correlation coefficient (−1 to +1): it is high only when predictions track reality across both classes. On imbalanced data where accuracy and even F1 can mislead, MCC stays informative — which is why it's increasingly the recommended summary statistic.

What's the difference between recall and specificity?+

Recall (sensitivity) is the fraction of actual will churn cases the model catches — TP/(TP+FN). Specificity is the fraction of actual will stay cases it correctly clears — TN/(TN+FP). A model can have high recall and low specificity (flags everything) or vice versa; you need both to judge it.
