Affiliate Marketing Performance Formula

Cost Per Sale = Total Affiliate Commissions Paid ÷ Total Sales

Affiliate Marketing ROI (%) = [(Total Sales – Total Affiliate Commissions Paid) ÷ Total Affiliate Commissions Paid] × 100

Explanation

The Affiliate Marketing Performance Calculator helps measure the effectiveness of your affiliate marketing campaigns by calculating the cost per sale and return on investment (ROI). These metrics are critical in understanding how well your affiliate marketing efforts are contributing to revenue growth.

Real-Life Example

Let’s say your total sales generated through affiliates is $50,000, and the total affiliate commissions paid is $5,000:

Cost Per Sale = $5,000 ÷ $50,000 = $0.10 per sale

Affiliate Marketing ROI = [($50,000 – $5,000) ÷ $5,000] × 100 = 900%

This means that for every $1 spent on affiliate commissions, you earn $9 in return.

Performance Benchmarks

ROI < 300%: Low performance.
ROI 300% – 700%: Moderate performance.
ROI > 700%: High performance.
