Sales Funnel Affiliate Commission Calculator
Estimate affiliate commissions from your sales funnel using traffic, conversion rates, average order value and commission percentage.
Overview
The Sales Funnel Affiliate Commission Calculator helps you estimate how much commission your funnel could produce each month. Enter your monthly visitors, opt-in rate, sales conversion rate, average order value, commission rate and expected refund rate to see projected leads, sales, revenue and commission.
How it works
The calculator follows the flow of a basic affiliate funnel. It first estimates leads by applying the opt-in rate to your monthly visitors. It then estimates gross sales by applying the sales conversion rate to those leads. Next, it reduces sales by the refund rate to get net sales, multiplies net sales by average order value to get net revenue, and finally applies your commission rate to estimate affiliate earnings. Earnings per visitor are calculated by dividing estimated commission by monthly visitors.

Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates monthly affiliate commission from a funnel using visitor traffic, opt-in rate, sales conversion rate, average order value, commission rate and refunds.
What is the difference between gross sales and net sales?
Gross sales are estimated sales before refunds. Net sales reduce that number by your refund or chargeback rate.
Should I enter conversion rates as percentages?
Yes. Enter rates such as 30 for 30% and 5 for 5%.
Does this calculator include upsells or recurring commissions?
No. This version uses a single average order value and one commission rate, so upsells and recurring payouts are not modeled separately.
What is earnings per visitor?
Earnings per visitor shows how much commission your funnel generates on average for each visitor who enters it.
Why might my real commissions differ from the estimate?
Real results may differ because of traffic quality, attribution rules, cookie windows, refund timing, pricing changes, bonuses or tiered commission structures.
