Budget buys impressions, so click-through rate decides how many clicks you get.
For the period you are planning.

Drives clicks from impressions.
Share of clicks that convert.
Revenue per conversion.

What CPM actually changes
Everything else held exactly where you set it, so each row differs only by CPM. Your current value is marked.

| $5 | 252 | $19.84 | 6.05x | $8,608.00 |
| $10 | 126 | $39.68 | 3.02x | $1,804.00 |
| $15 | 84 | $59.52 | 2.02x | -$464.00 |

Projections only. Real campaigns vary with auction pressure, seasonality, creative fatigue, returns and refunds. Platform starting values are rough public benchmarks, not guarantees — replace them with your own reporting.
Reading CPM without being misled by it
CPM is spend ÷ impressions × 1,000. A $5,000 budget at an $11 CPM buys about 454,000 impressions. It is the native unit of brand and social buying, where you are paying for attention rather than for a specific action.
A low CPM is not automatically good news. TikTok routinely undercuts Meta on CPM and Meta undercuts Google Display, but cheap impressions shown to a poorly matched audience convert worse. The honest comparison is cost per acquisition, and the only way to get there is to run the CPM through CTR and conversion rate first — which is what the calculator above does.
CPM also moves for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Q4 retail bidding, election cycles and category seasonality all push it up. Budget against a range rather than a single number, and revisit it every quarter.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate CPM?
Divide total spend by impressions, then multiply by 1,000. $4,000 spent for 800,000 impressions is a $5 CPM. To go the other way, impressions = spend ÷ CPM × 1,000.
What is a good CPM?
Broadly, TikTok runs cheapest, Meta sits in the middle and Google Display and YouTube higher, with search-adjacent inventory highest of all. Narrow targeting, competitive verticals and Q4 all raise it. Judge CPM by the cost per acquisition it ultimately produces, not on its own.
What is the difference between CPM and CPC?
CPM charges per thousand impressions whether or not anyone clicks. CPC charges only for clicks. They are linked by click-through rate: effective CPC = CPM ÷ (CTR × 1,000). At a $10 CPM and 1% CTR your effective CPC is $1.
Why did my CPM suddenly increase?
Usually auction pressure rather than anything you changed — seasonal competition, a narrower audience, creative fatigue lowering your relevance score, or a frequency cap forcing the platform into more expensive inventory to keep reaching new people.
Should I buy on CPM or CPC?
Buy CPM when you are confident in your creative and want reach at a predictable price; you keep the upside from a high click-through rate. Buy CPC when you want cost certainty per visitor and would rather the platform carry the risk of weak creative.
How can I pay for ads with crypto?
Create a Kripicard virtual Visa card, top it up with USDT, and add it as the payment method on Google, Meta or TikTok. There is no bank account or credit check, cards are issued in about 60 seconds, and you can run a separate card per campaign or client so budgets and reconciliation stay clean.
