Cost per click (CPC)
$125.00
| Formula | $50,000.00 ÷ 400 clicks |

How it works
- CPC (cost per click) is found with "ad spend ÷ clicks" and shows the average cost paid each time your ad is clicked.
- A lower CPC means you are gathering more clicks for less money, making it a basic measure of an ad's cost efficiency.
- Enter an ad budget to estimate roughly how many clicks you could expect at the current CPC — handy for pre-launch simulations.
- Real-world CPC varies with keyword competition, bid amounts, ad quality, and placement, so treat these results as a guideline only.
- Enter 1 or more for clicks and 0 or more for ad spend. The result is not shown unless these conditions are met.
