Using the Sample Values:

Before getting into the step-by-step guide, let us make it easy for you by filling in the sample values.

  1. Open our CPM Calculator's webpage. You'll see three boxes with the labels 'Campaign Cost', 'CPM', and 'Ad Impressions'. Beneath the boxes, there are three buttons with blue, green, and orange colors, titled 'Calculate', 'Sample', and 'Reset' respectively.

Using your Actual values:

When you open our CPM Calculator's webpage, you'll see 3 boxes with respective labels. Don't get confused. Just sit back and relax, this guide will help you out. Depending upon the scenario, two of the boxes become input fields and the third one is the output. According to your case, follow the instructions below to do your CPM calculation:

  1. Determining the Campaign Cost:
  1. For the calculation of Campaign Cost, you need to provide the CPM and the number of Ad Impressions
  2. Fill in the first value i.e. CPM in the middle box, and the second value i.e. Ad Impressions in the bottom box.
  3. Then click on the Calculate Your calculated Campaign Cost, for instance, $100, will be displayed in the new box beneath the buttons.
  4. If you want to solve it again with some different values, you can change the values by using the up and down arrows at the right side of each box. The upward arrow will increase the value by unity, and the downward arrow will decrease it by unity. You can also change the value by deleting the previously written value and then re-entering the new value. Then you can perform the steps from a to c again to re-evaluate the Campaign Cost with new values.
  1. Determining the CPM:
    1. For the calculation of CPM, you need to provide the Campaign Cost and the number of Ad Impressions required.
    2. Fill in the first value i.e. Campaign Cost in the top box, and the second value i.e. Ad Impressions in the bottom box.
    3. Then click on the Calculate button. Your calculated CPM, for instance, 10, will be displayed in the new box beneath the buttons.
    4. If you want to solve it again with some different values, you can change the values by using the up and down arrows at the right side of each box. The upward arrow will increase the value by unity, and the downward arrow will decrease it by unity. You can also change the value by deleting the previously written value and then re-entering the new value. Then you can perform the steps from a to c again to re-evaluate the CPM with new values.
  1. Determining the Ad Impressions:
  1. For the calculation of Ad Impressions, you need to provide the Campaign Cost and the CPM.
  2. Fill in the first value i.e. Campaign Cost in the top box, and the second value i.e. CPM in the middle box.
  3. Then click on the Calculate Your calculated No. of Ad Impressions, for instance, 10000, will be displayed in the new box beneath the buttons.
  4. If you want to solve it again with some different values, you can change the values by using the up and down arrows at the right side of each box. The upward arrow will increase the value by unity, and the downward arrow will decrease it by unity. You can also change the value by deleting the previously written value and then re-entering the new value. Then you can perform the steps from a to c again to re-evaluate the No. of Ad Impressions with new values.

What do the resulting values mean?

Upon clicking the Calculate button after entering either of the two quantities from the Campaign Cost, CPM, and Ad Impressions, a new box will appear having three sections. They will be showing the resulting Campaign Cost, CPM, and Ad Impressions. Two of them will have the same values that you entered, and the third one will be calculated based on the provided inputs.

Let us demonstrate with the help of an example for your better understanding. Let's suppose that you have an offer of getting 20000 ad impressions for $200. You want to find out what will be the CPM for it. Then you have to input 200 as Campaign Cost, since the cost of the campaign is 200 USD. And, you have to enter 20000 in Ad Impressions, which is the No. of ad impressions which you'll be getting for the mentioned cost. The answers given by the tool are:

  • Campaign Cost: $200
  • CPM: $10
  • Ad Impressions: 20000

The tool will provide results for all three values, you just need to focus on the one that you had to determine. For this case, you required CPM, so the CPM for this scenario would come out to be $10 per 1000 impressions.
