Quick start
- Open the Ad Revenue Calculator.
- Enter daily page views, such as 1000.
- Enter page CTR as a percent, such as 1.5 for 1.5%.
- Enter average CPC as dollars per click, such as 0.35.
- Calculate, then compare monthly revenue, estimated clicks per day, and page RPM before trusting the plan.

What this calculator is for
The Ad Revenue Calculator is for early website planning. It helps you test a simple question: if a page gets this many views, this click rate, and this average click value, what could the ad revenue look like?
Use it when you are testing a blog post, tool page, niche site, or traffic idea and want a rough number before opening a spreadsheet.
What to enter
Ad revenue estimates are easy to break with one bad input. Page views are counts, CTR is a percent, and CPC is a dollar amount per click.
- Enter daily page views as the number of page loads you want to estimate for one day.
- Enter page CTR as a normal percent, such as 1.5 for 1.5%, not 0.015.
- Enter average CPC as a dollar amount per ad click, such as 0.35 for thirty-five cents.
Example walkthrough
Try the starter example: 1,000 daily page views, 1.5% page CTR, and $0.35 average CPC. That gives about 15 clicks per day, $5.25 per day, about $159.80 per average month, and a $5.25 page RPM.
- 1,000 daily page views with 1.5% page CTR creates about 15 estimated clicks per day.
- At $0.35 average CPC, those clicks estimate $5.25 per day, about $159.80 per average month, and a $5.25 page RPM.
- If the CTR drops to 0.6% or the average CPC drops to $0.25, the same traffic can feel much less exciting. That is why this page is better for testing scenarios than making promises.
Formula and steps
In plain language: The calculator multiplies daily page views by page CTR to estimate ad clicks, multiplies clicks by average CPC for daily revenue, then scales that estimate to monthly and yearly revenue. It also converts daily revenue into page RPM by dividing revenue by page views and multiplying by 1,000. If the result seems too high or too low, first check whether each field expects a monthly amount, annual amount, dollar value, or percent.
The formula is simple on purpose: page views times CTR gives estimated clicks, clicks times CPC gives daily revenue, and daily revenue divided by page views times 1,000 gives page RPM.
How to read the answer
Start with monthly revenue, because that is usually how site owners compare costs. Then check estimated clicks and page RPM so the number has context.
- Monthly revenue is the headline estimate because many site owners plan traffic and costs monthly.
- Daily revenue shows the raw one-day estimate before scaling up.
- Page RPM converts the estimate into revenue per 1,000 page views, which is easier to compare across pages with different traffic.
- Estimated clicks per day helps you spot the hidden lever. More page views do not help much if the click rate or CPC is weak.
Common mistakes to avoid
Most bad ad revenue estimates come from typing CTR as a decimal, guessing a CPC that is too high, or forgetting that real ad reports can remove invalid traffic and change after review.
- Do not treat this as real AdSense income or an official Google report.
- Do not forget invalid traffic, ad blocking, country mix, niche, seasonality, ad placement, policy status, and advertiser demand.
- Do not enter 1.5% CTR as 0.015 unless a field specifically asks for decimal form. This field wants 1.5.
- Do not compare two pages by total revenue alone. Compare page RPM too, because one page may earn more only because it gets more views.
What to try next
A related tool can help when ad revenue is only one part of the plan. Compare the estimate with costs, traffic campaigns, and profit goals before you count it as income.
- Use Margin Calculator if you want to compare ad revenue with site costs.
- Use UTM Builder when you are planning traffic campaigns.
- Open the Ad Revenue Calculator again when you want to test a second CTR or CPC scenario.
Sources and estimate notes
Google AdSense Help explains page CTR, page RPM, how AdSense works, revenue share, and invalid traffic. Those sources are useful because ad revenue is not just one clean formula.
The calculator still stays simple. It does not read your ad account, approve earnings, predict fill rate, or know which clicks may later be filtered.

FAQ in plain language
When should I use the Ad Revenue Calculator?
Use it when you want to test the exact inputs on this page: Test a simple AdSense-style earnings scenario before treating traffic as income. Estimate what a page might earn at a simple traffic and CPC level. The result is a check against your assumptions, not proof that a lender, tax app, broker, platform, or provider will use the same number.
What do the main Ad Revenue Calculator inputs mean?
Daily page views means how many page loads you want to estimate for one day. Page CTR means the estimated percent of page views that turn into ad clicks, entered as 1.5 for 1.5%. Average CPC means the average money earned per ad click in the scenario, entered as a dollar amount.
How do page views, CTR, and CPC become ad revenue?
The calculator turns page views into estimated clicks first. For example, 1,000 page views at 1.5% page CTR is about 15 clicks. At $0.35 average CPC, that is about $5.25 per day before the estimate is scaled to a month or year.
What is page RPM?
Page RPM means estimated revenue per 1,000 page views. If a page earns $5 from 1,000 views, the page RPM is $5. The calculator derives RPM from the CTR and CPC numbers you enter.
Why can the real result be different from this estimate?
CTR and CPC are averages, not fixed laws. Ad placement, traffic source, device type, country, topic, invalid traffic checks, ad blocking, season, revenue share, and advertiser budgets can all move the real number.
Should I enter CTR as 1.5 or 0.015?
Enter 1.5 for 1.5%. Do not enter 0.015 unless a field asks for decimal form. A tiny format mistake can make the revenue estimate look 100 times too small.
What is the Ad Revenue Calculator doing with my numbers?
In plain language: The calculator multiplies daily page views by page CTR to estimate ad clicks, multiplies clicks by average CPC for daily revenue, then scales that estimate to monthly and yearly revenue. It also converts daily revenue into page RPM by dividing revenue by page views and multiplying by 1,000. If the result seems too high or too low, first check whether each field expects a monthly amount, annual amount, dollar value, or percent.
