Your Details

Overview

The Facebook Ads CPM Calculator helps you work out your cost per 1,000 impressions and estimate either how many impressions your budget could buy or how much budget you may need. Enter your ad spend, impressions, target CPM, and target impressions to plan campaigns more confidently.

How it works

CPM means cost per mille, or cost per 1,000 impressions. The calculator divides your ad spend by total impressions and multiplies the result by 1,000 to find your current CPM. It also reverses that logic to estimate how many impressions a given budget could buy at a target CPM, or how much budget would be needed to reach a target number of impressions.

  2. 2Add the number of impressions your campaign delivered.
  3. 3Enter a target CPM for forecasting.

Example Calculation

Ad Spend

$500

Impressions

50000

Target CPM

$12

Target Impressions

100000

Estimated CPM

$10.00

With $500 in ad spend and 50,000 impressions, the CPM is $10.00. At a target CPM of $12, the same budget could buy about 41,667 impressions, and 100,000 impressions would require about $1,200.
