Organic traffic avoids this CPC

At $2/click, 1,000 organic sessions are worth about $2,000 in paid-search equivalent — before you count compounding SEO traffic.

How this calculator works: Cost per click (CPC) is total ad spend divided by clicks. Optional conversion rate and order value estimate CPA, revenue, ROAS, and profit. Numbers are estimates — real campaigns vary by Quality Score, bids, and landing-page performance. Runs fully in your browser.

How to use CPC

Three ways CPC guides budget

Max CPC vs average CPC

Your bid ceiling is not what you pay. Average CPC is spend ÷ clicks — use that for forecasting, not max bid alone.

Break-even CPC

Max profitable CPC ≈ AOV × conversion rate × target margin. If real CPC sits above break-even, fix CVR or cut bids.

SEO as CPC arbitrage

Every organic click you earn at the same intent as a paid keyword is unpaid CPC. Content that ranks compounds; ads stop when spend stops.
