Formula
EPC = conversion rate ÷ 100 × commission per sale= 80
Note
This is a simplified model: it applies the counts, rates, prices and fees you enter to plain arithmetic. Every platform cut, payment fee, CPM, royalty per play and commission rate is a value you supply, because no platform's revenue share, advertising rate or payout rate is fixed: they change over time and differ by country, contract, category, audience and season. Engagement, open, click and unsubscribe rates are the standard definitions, but each platform and email tool counts interactions, reach, delivered mail and opens differently, so a rate is only comparable against numbers counted the same way; image-blocking and privacy features in particular make open rates unreliable. Revenue estimates ignore taxes, withholding, currency conversion, refunds, chargebacks, invalid traffic, minimum payout thresholds and payment delays. The churn projection assumes a constant monthly churn rate and a constant number of new subscribers, which real audiences never follow. Treat every figure as a rough planning estimate, not a forecast of what you will be paid, and check your own platform statements and any contract before relying on it. This is not financial, tax or legal advice.

How is earnings per click (EPC) calculated?+
Divide total affiliate earnings by the total number of clicks sent to the offer. $150 in earnings from 500 clicks gives an EPC of $0.30, representing the average value of each click regardless of individual conversion outcomes.
Why is EPC more useful than conversion rate alone when comparing offers?+
EPC combines conversion rate and commission value into a single number, so a low-converting but high-commission offer can outperform a high-converting but low-commission one — comparing EPC directly tells you which actually pays better per click without doing that math yourself.
What's a good EPC benchmark?+
It varies enormously by niche and traffic source, so the most useful benchmark is usually your own historical EPC for similar traffic — use it to compare new offers or landing pages against what you know already converts for your specific audience.
Why did my EPC drop even though my conversion rate stayed the same?+
EPC also depends on the commission amount per sale — if the program lowered its commission rate or average order value dropped (customers buying cheaper items), EPC falls even with an unchanged conversion rate.
Can I use EPC to decide how much to bid on paid traffic for an offer?+
Yes — EPC sets a ceiling for profitable ad spend per click; bidding above your EPC on paid clicks means losing money on average, so EPC is a core input for calculating maximum sustainable cost-per-click in a paid campaign.
