What the result means

This calculator forecasts lead volume and customer volume from paid traffic. It helps decide whether the budget is enough for your lead target.

Clicks = Budget ÷ CPC; Leads = Clicks × Conversion Rate; Customers = Leads × Close Rate

Lead quantity does not guarantee profit. Use CPA, ROAS, and ROI calculators to check downstream economics.

Example calculation

With a $2,000 budget, $2 CPC, 8% conversion rate, and 25% close rate, the campaign may generate 1,000 clicks, 80 leads, and 20 customers.

Tips for better results

  • Improve form completion rate.
  • Use high-intent keywords for better lead quality.
  • Track lead-to-customer close rate separately.
  • Estimate customer value before increasing budget.
