About
What is it?
The CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) calculator measures how much it costs you on average to acquire a customer, sale or lead through your advertising campaigns.
Why use it?
CPA is the key indicator of campaign profitability. If your CPA exceeds the margin you make on a sale, you're losing money on every conversion.
How does it work?
Divide the total campaign budget by the number of acquisitions (sales, leads, sign-ups...) obtained. The result is your average CPA.
Usage tips
- Clearly define what counts as an acquisition in your context
- Compare your CPA to your gross margin per order to check profitability
- Use customer lifetime value (LTV) to justify a higher CPA for repeat buyers
- Optimize your landing page to reduce CPA without adjusting bids
- Segment by channel to identify which generates the best CPA
