How to Use the Affiliate Marketing Commission Calculator
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based industry where tracking your potential Return on Investment (ROI) is crucial for scaling. This calculator helps you determine how much revenue you will generate based on the retail price of the product and the specific percentage offered by the affiliate network.
Understanding the Variables
- Product Price: The full retail cost of the item your audience purchases.
- Commission Rate: The percentage of the sale price that the merchant pays you. For digital products, this is often 30% to 75%, while physical goods usually range from 1% to 10%.
- Number of Sales: Your projected volume of conversions over a specific period (daily, monthly, or per campaign).
Practical Example
If you are promoting a SaaS subscription that costs $150 with a 20% commission rate, and you successfully refer 15 customers in a month:
1. Commission per sale: $150 × 0.20 = $30.00
2. Total monthly earnings: $30.00 × 15 = $450.00
Why Calculating Commission Matters
Knowing your expected earnings per sale allows you to set an appropriate advertising budget. For instance, if you earn $30 per sale, you know that your "Cost Per Acquisition" (CPA) must stay below $30 to remain profitable if you are using paid traffic like Facebook Ads or Google PPC.
