Sales Funnel Affiliate ROI Calculator
Estimate affiliate sales funnel revenue, profit and return on investment from traffic, conversion rates, commissions and ad spend.
Overview
This Sales Funnel Affiliate ROI Calculator helps you estimate whether an affiliate funnel is profitable using monthly clicks, opt-in rate, sales conversion rate, average commission and your monthly costs. It is useful for comparing campaigns, testing funnel assumptions and spotting whether your current traffic economics make sense.
How it works
The calculator estimates how many leads you generate from clicks using your opt-in rate, then estimates how many of those leads become affiliate sales using your sales conversion rate. It multiplies estimated sales by your average commission to find gross commission revenue. Finally, it subtracts ad spend and other monthly costs to estimate net profit and expresses profit as a percentage of total cost to calculate ROI.

Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates leads, affiliate sales, gross commission revenue, net profit, earnings per click and ROI for a monthly affiliate funnel.
What is ROI in an affiliate funnel?
ROI shows how much profit your funnel generates compared with what you spend. A positive ROI means revenue is higher than costs.
Should I use clicks or visitors for monthly clicks?
Use the number of people entering the funnel at the top. For paid campaigns, this is often ad clicks. For other traffic sources, use total funnel visitors.
What is the affiliate sales conversion rate?
It is the percentage of leads who complete the affiliate purchase after opting in or moving through your funnel.
Does this include refunds or commission delays?
No. If your affiliate program has refunds, reversals or delayed payouts, adjust your average commission or costs to reflect that.
What is a good earnings per click?
A good EPC depends on your traffic cost and niche. In general, your EPC should be higher than your cost per click if you want a profitable paid campaign.
