How This Calculator Works
Use this cpc cpm ctr tool for quick estimation, comparison, and planning intent while keeping formula assumptions visible.
Use this ad metric calculator to quickly calculate CPC, CPM, and CTR from spend, impressions, and clicks.
CPC, CPM, and CTR are basic ad efficiency metrics used to compare campaigns and channels.
Formula
CPC = spend / clicks. CPM = spend / impressions × 1,000. CTR = clicks / impressions × 100.
Example Calculation
$500 spend, 100,000 impressions, and 2,200 clicks gives $0.23 CPC, $5 CPM, and 2.2% CTR.
