How It Works

This metric divides total tax collected from new customers by their order count. Higher values often correlate with larger first-time orders or sales in higher-tax jurisdictions. Use it alongside geographic segmentation to understand regional tax burdens affecting new customer acquisition economics.

Regional analysis	Compare across states/countries to understand tax impact on acquisition
