1. What is eCPM?

eCPM (effective Cost Per Mille) is a key advertising metric that represents the estimated earnings per 1000 impressions. It helps publishers compare revenue efficiency across different ad networks and campaigns.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the eCPM formula:

Where:

• Total Earnings — Total revenue generated from ads ($)
• Total Impressions — Total number of ad impressions

Explanation: The formula calculates how much you earn for every 1000 impressions served, providing a standardized metric for revenue comparison.

3. Importance of eCPM Calculation

Details: eCPM is crucial for publishers to evaluate ad performance, optimize revenue streams, and make informed decisions about which ad networks and placements are most profitable.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total earnings in dollars and total impressions. Both values must be valid (earnings ≥ 0, impressions > 0).
