How it works
CTR = clicks ÷ impressions × 100. Target clicks = ceiling(impressions × target CTR).
Acquisition and ads
Click-through rate calculator
Calculate the share of impressions that produced clicks and the clicks a target CTR would require at the same volume.
- Observed CTR
- 2%
- Clicks for target
- 300
Use link clicks or all clicks consistently. This scenario assumes at most one counted click per impression.
Worked example
200 clicks from 10,000 impressions give 2% CTR. A 3% target requires 300 clicks.
Assumptions and limits
Use link clicks or all clicks consistently. This scenario assumes at most one counted click per impression.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use the click-through rate calculator?
Calculate the share of impressions that produced clicks and the clicks a target CTR would require at the same volume.
Does CTR measure installs or purchases?
No. CTR measures clicks per impression; conversions need a different denominator and event.
