How it works

This calculator uses standard digital advertising formulas. CPC is calculated by dividing total spend by total clicks. CTR is clicks divided by impressions, multiplied by 100. CPM is total spend divided by impressions, multiplied by 1000. If conversions are entered, conversion rate is conversions divided by clicks, and cost per conversion is total spend divided by conversions. These results help you compare campaign efficiency using common paid social metrics.
