How to Calculate Affiliate Marketing Commissions
Understanding your potential ROI is critical for any affiliate marketer. This calculator helps you project your monthly income based on product pricing and conversion volume. To get an accurate forecast, you need to understand the three primary variables: Price, Volume, and Rate.
The Affiliate Math Formula
The core logic used in our tool follows this standard industry formula:
(Price × Quantity × Commission %) + Fixed Bonus = Total Earnings
Real-World Example
Imagine you are promoting a SaaS tool that costs $150 per month. If your conversion rate and traffic result in 20 sales per month, and the affiliate program offers a 30% recurring commission:
- Gross Sales: $150 × 20 = $3,000
- Commission (30%): $3,000 × 0.30 = $900
- Total Monthly Income: $900
Factors That Impact Your Earnings
1. Cookie Duration: A longer cookie window (e.g., 90 days vs 24 hours) increases the likelihood that a returning user will count as your sale.
2. EPC (Earnings Per Click): While this calculator focuses on completed sales, professional affiliates monitor EPC to determine if the traffic they are buying or generating is profitable.
3. Refund Rates: Most programs deduct commissions for returned products. If your niche has a high refund rate (like clothing), subtract 5-10% from your calculated total for a more realistic net figure.
