How earnings per click works

Earnings per click, or EPC, is the single most useful number for comparing affiliate offers. It is your total commission divided by the number of clicks you sent. A program with a lower commission but a higher conversion rate can beat a high ticket program on EPC, which is why you should compare offers on EPC rather than headline commission.

For recurring programs, the monthly number is only the start. A 40 dollar one time commission and a 20 dollar monthly recurring commission look very different once you factor in how many months the customer stays. Use the recurring toggle and the months input to see the lifetime value per customer.

FAQ

What is a good EPC for affiliate marketing?

EPC varies widely by niche, from under a dollar to well over five dollars. Comparison and review content usually earns the highest EPC because it reaches buyers who are close to deciding. Use this calculator to compare offers on EPC rather than on headline commission.

How do I calculate affiliate earnings?

Multiply your monthly visitors by the click through rate to get clicks, multiply clicks by the conversion rate to get sales, then multiply sales by the commission per sale. This calculator does it for you and also factors in refunds and recurring commission.

Does this work for recurring commission programs?

Yes. Turn on the recurring toggle and set how many months a customer stays to see the lifetime value per customer, which is where recurring programs pull ahead of one time bounties.
