How to use this calculator

Model online course revenue, profit, break-even enrollment, revenue per visitor, ROAS, and target-profit requirements. Enter the values for one consistent reporting period and select Calculate.

What the result means

The result reflects conversion, discounts, refunds, fees, commissions, support, advertising, and production costs.

Students = visitors × conversion. Net profit = collected revenue − fees − commissions − support − advertising − production.

Course revenue is highly sensitive to conversion, refunds, and acquisition cost.

Example calculation

50,000 visitors at 2.5% conversion produce 1,250 students.

Tips for better results

  • Use checkout conversion, not opt-in rate.
  • Separate launch and evergreen acquisition.
  • Include support and refund cost.
  • Track profit per visitor.
  • Improve student outcomes before scaling ads.
