📐 Ads Calculator Formulas (Plain Text)

Here are the key formulas used by the calculator:

• CPC (Cost Per Click) = Total Spend ÷ Number of Clicks
• CPM (Cost Per 1000 Impressions) = (Total Spend ÷ Impressions) × 1000
• CTR (Click-Through Rate %) = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100
• CVR (Conversion Rate %) = (Conversions ÷ Clicks) × 100
• ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) = Revenue ÷ Total Spend
• Profit = Revenue – Total Spend

These metrics help you understand both performance and profitability.

📊 Example Calculations

Example 1 – Basic Campaign:

• Ad Spend: $1,000
• Impressions: 200,000
• Clicks: 2,500
• Conversions: 250
• Revenue: $4,000

CPC = 1000 / 2500 = $0.40
CPM = (1000 / 200000) × 1000 = $5.00
CTR = (2500 / 200000) × 100 = 1.25%
CVR = (250 / 2500) × 100 = 10%
ROAS = 4000 / 1000 = 4.0x
Profit = 4000 – 1000 = $3,000

➡️ Excellent campaign efficiency!

Example 2 – Underperforming Campaign:

• Ad Spend: $2,000
• Impressions: 300,000
• Clicks: 600
• Conversions: 30
• Revenue: $1,500

CPC = 2000 / 600 = $3.33
CPM = (2000 / 300000) × 1000 = $6.67
CTR = (600 / 300000) × 100 = 0.2%
CVR = (30 / 600) × 100 = 5%
ROAS = 1500 / 2000 = 0.75x
Profit = 1500 – 2000 = –$500 (Loss)

➡️ Needs optimization or reconsidering targeting/audience.
