CPC Calculator
CPC (cost per click) is the average amount you pay each time someone clicks your ad. Toolverge uses CPC = total spend ÷ clicks, and can also solve for the budget needed at a target CPC and click volume, or the clicks a given spend and CPC imply. Because CPC drives most search and social PPC billing, checking it against your target helps you catch overspending campaigns early.
How it works
- Choose what to solve for: CPC, budget (spend), or clicks.
- Enter the other two numbers. A $200 / 100 click example is filled in ($2 CPC).
- Read all three values on the tape.
Formula CPC = total spend / clicks
