Conversion Rate Calculator
From conversions and visitors/impressions, compute the conversion rate (CR) — a core marketing and sales-funnel metric.
Input Data
Results
At a glance:Conversion rate = conversions / visitors x 100%. A 'conversion' is any goal you set (order, sign-up, add-to-cart, form). It is the most direct measure of funnel performance — higher CR means better traffic quality and monetisation. Improving CR (optimise checkout, landing, CTA, trust) is often cheaper than buying more traffic: 2% → 3% lifts orders 50% at the same visitors. WARNING: Read with the conversion definition and source; different channels/stages are not comparable. High CR with low AOV or high returns is not necessarily profitable — pair with AOV, CPA, ROAS. Education, not advice.

FAQ
What is a good conversion rate?
No absolute standard — it depends on industry, channel and the conversion definition. E-commerce order CR often runs ~1%-3%, while shallower goals like add-to-cart or sign-up are much higher. Best practice is to compare with your own history and same-channel benchmarks.
Is improving conversion or buying traffic better?
Both matter, but improving conversion is often more cost-effective. At the same traffic, CR 2% → 3% raises orders 50% with no extra acquisition cost. Practically, optimise conversion first, then scale traffic for efficiency.
Does a high conversion rate mean profit?
Not necessarily. CR shows only the proportion that converts, not order value, cost or returns. Heavy discounting may lift CR but thin margins; high returns shrink real conversions. Pair with AOV, CPA and ROAS to judge true value.
What is a 'good' rate — is there a standard?
There is no universal good number because CR depends heavily on industry, traffic channel and the conversion definition. Shallow goals (add-to-cart, free sign-up) convert far higher than paid orders; comparing order CR to sign-up CR is meaningless. E-commerce order CR of ~1%-3% is a rough reference only. Judge CR against your own trend and same-definition, same-channel benchmarks rather than an external 'standard'.
Does high CR equal profit?
No — a common trap. CR measures only the proportion, not the value or cost per conversion, which determine profit. High CR can coexist with low profit via: deep discounts (thin margin), low AOV, high returns (real conversions discounted), or high CPA (expensive traffic). Always view CR alongside AOV, CPA, ROAS, return rate and gross margin to see conversion quality, not just quantity.
