Sales Funnel Refund Rate Calculator
Estimate your sales funnel refund rate and see how refunds affect net orders, net revenue, and retained customers.
Overview
The Sales Funnel Refund Rate Calculator helps you estimate how refunds affect your funnel performance using visitors, conversion rate, average order value, and refund rate. It is useful for checking how much revenue and how many orders you actually keep after refunds.
How it works
The calculator first estimates gross orders by multiplying visitors by conversion rate. It then estimates gross revenue using the average order value. Refunds are applied as a percentage of completed orders and gross revenue, which gives refunded orders, refunded revenue, net orders, and net revenue. This provides a simple view of how refunds reduce retained sales performance.
