CPC Calculator
Estimate the cost of clicks or reverse the calculation to plan delivery.
Formula and assumptions
Unit cost · CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks × 1.
Required spend · Required spend = Target clicks × Target CPC ÷ 1.
Estimated volume · Estimated clicks = Available spend ÷ Expected CPC × 1.
Use clicks measured over the spend period. CPC excludes costs outside the entered budget.

How to use this tool
Choose the relevant mode, enter Ad spend and complete the labelled fields. Use Calculate to review your result.
Worked example
Ad spend = 200, Clicks = 100.
CPC = 2.00 currency units.
These example values are illustrative.
Interpreting the result
Use the required-spend mode to check a click target against your budget, then test a higher CPC to see how much delivery could fall.
Assumptions and limitations
Use clicks measured over the spend period. CPC excludes costs outside the entered budget.
Which click count should I enter?
Choose the same click definition used for your target, such as link clicks. Mixing all clicks and link clicks changes the result.
