What does CPM stand for?

CPM stands for 'Cost Per Mille' where 'Mille' is Latin for thousand. It represents the cost an advertiser pays for every 1,000 impressions (views) of an advertisement.

How do CPM and CPC differ?

CPM charges advertisers based on how many times an ad is viewed, whereas CPC (Cost Per Click) charges only when someone actually clicks on the ad.

How to use it

1️⃣ Select your calculation goal: Cost, CPM, or Impressions.
2️⃣ Enter the required inputs (e.g., CPM value, impressions, clicks).
3️⃣ The missing values (CPC, CTR, total budget) update instantly.

Formula

Cost = (Impressions / 1,000) * CPM. CTR = (Clicks / Impressions) * 100. CPC = Cost / Clicks. CPM = (Cost / Impressions) * 1,000.

💡 See it in action — a real example

If your ad campaign has 200,000 impressions, receives 4,000 clicks, and costs $1,200: CPM = (1,200 / 200,000) * 1,000 = $6.00. CTR = (4,000 / 200,000) * 100 = 2.00%. CPC = 1,200 / 4,000 = $0.30.
