CTR = clicks ÷ impressions × 100. To calculate CTR, take the clicks and impressions for the same date range, divide clicks by impressions and multiply by 100. The calculator does exactly this and shows the result as a percentage. Use link clicks rather than all clicks if you want CTR to reflect traffic to your site.
Clicks: 250 Impressions: 10,000 CTR = 250 ÷ 10,000 × 100 = 2.50%
The same formula answers planning questions when you rearrange it.
| You know | You want | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impressions and target CTR | Clicks to expect | impressions × CTR ÷ 100 | 20,000 × 1.5 ÷ 100 = 300 clicks |
| Clicks needed and CTR | Impressions needed | clicks ÷ CTR × 100 | 500 ÷ 1.2 × 100 = 41,667 impressions |
| CPM and CTR | Cost per click | CPM ÷ (CTR × 10) | $12 ÷ (1.5 × 10) = $0.80 |
At a fixed CPM, cost per click falls as CTR rises. Example at a $12 CPM:
| CTR | Cost per click | Clicks per $100 |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5% | $2.40 | 42 |
| 1.0% | $1.20 | 83 |
| 1.5% | $0.80 | 125 |
| 2.0% | $0.60 | 167 |
| 3.0% | $0.40 | 250 |
The reference ranges in the calculator are rules of thumb we use in production, not figures published by Meta, TikTok or Google. The most reliable benchmark is your own account: the median link CTR of your ads on the same platform, placement and objective over the last 30 days.
Judge CTR together with what happens after the click. A high CTR with a low conversion rate points to a mismatch between the ad and the landing page, not to a great ad.
With clicks in B2 and impressions in C2: =IFERROR(B2/C2,0), formatted as a percentage. For a group of ads, =SUM(B:B)/SUM(C:C). The full formula guide, including the differences between CTR (all), link CTR and outbound CTR, is in our CTR glossary entry.
In modern algorithmic media buying across Meta Advantage+, TikTok Spark Ads, and Google Performance Max, ad platforms charge you per impression (CPM). That means your Click-Through Rate is the ultimate economic lever: doubling your CTR from 1.0% to 2.0% effectively cuts your Cost Per Click (CPC) in half without changing your bid cap or landing page.
When diagnosing an ad with low outbound CTR, media buyers must isolate two distinct metrics:
