Marketing Metrics Calculator: CTR, CPC, CPM, CPA and ROAS
Marketing metrics only become useful when they are connected. CTR explains attention, CPC explains traffic cost, conversion rate explains post-click performance, CPA explains acquisition cost and ROAS connects revenue to spend.
How this free tool works
Calculate CTR, CPC, CPM, conversion rate, CPA and ROAS from one campaign dataset. Free, instant and easy to audit. The result is designed to be transparent: you can see the inputs, the formula and the assumptions instead of receiving a black-box score.
CTR = clicks ÷ impressions. CPC = spend ÷ clicks. CPM = spend ÷ impressions × 1,000. CPA = spend ÷ conversions. ROAS = revenue ÷ spend.

Frequently asked questions
Which marketing metric should I check first?+
Start with the business outcome and work backwards: profit or CPA, then conversion rate, then traffic cost and CTR.
Is a higher CTR always better?+
No. A high CTR can bring low-intent traffic. Read CTR together with conversion rate and CPA.
What is the difference between CPC and CPA?+
CPC is the cost of a click. CPA is the cost of a completed acquisition or conversion.
