Affiliate Click Conversion Calculator
This calculator separates click-to-sale conversion from commission economics. It is useful for comparing placements when clicks and confirmed conversions use the same attribution window.
How to use this calculator
- Enter valid affiliate clicks, attributed conversions, average commission per conversion using the same measurement window and units.
- Check the result and intermediate values, then change one input at a time when comparing scenarios.
- Keep the stated scope and assumptions attached to any result you share.
Formula and method
Conversion rate = attributed conversions ÷ valid clicks × 100; earnings per click = attributed commission ÷ clicks.
- Conversion rate is 1.5%, commission is €450 and earnings per click are €0.1875.
- Conversions may later be reversed, delayed or attributed to another channel. Use approved network reports rather than treating this estimate as earned revenue.

Should invalid clicks be included?
Use the network’s eligible click definition and remove invalid or duplicate activity consistently.
