Formula and method

PPC funnel method

clicks = budget ÷ CPC; leads = clicks × CVR; customers = leads × close rate

Revenue is customers times average order value. Gross profit applies margin, then ROI compares profit to total spend.

Break-even CPC estimates the click cost that would cover spend under the same funnel assumptions.

Assumptions

  • Conversion rates are your scenario assumptions.
  • Management fee is included in spend for ROI.
  • No ad platform performance is guaranteed.

FAQ

Does this guarantee ad performance?

No. It only models the assumptions you enter.

Why include gross margin?

Revenue alone can hide whether the campaign is profitable after cost of goods or service delivery.

What is ROAS?

ROAS is revenue divided by ad spend, before management fee and margin effects.

What is ROI here?

ROI compares gross profit minus total spend to total spend.
