How to use this tool
Copy cost and delivered impressions from the same advertising report. Keep currency, date range and impression definition consistent across placements.
How the calculation works
CPM = campaign cost ÷ impressions × 1,000
Example
Spending $120 for 80,000 impressions produces a $1.50 CPM.
Read the result without overestimating it
Compare a cheap placement and an expensive placement using both CPM and the action you wanted. A low price for exposure does not establish that visitors install, return or buy.
Why this result matters
CPM makes campaigns with different budgets and impression totals easier to compare. It measures media cost, not conversions or player quality.
Tips for a more useful estimate
- Use viewable impressions when that is your reporting standard.
- Compare similar formats and placements.
- Pair CPM with click, install, and revenue results.
Frequently asked questions
