How to use the cost per lead calculator
- Enter your total spend. Type what you spent on the campaign, in your own currency.
- Enter your lead count. Type how many leads that spend produced.
- Read the cost per lead. See spend divided by leads, formatted in your own currency.
- Compare across campaigns. Recalculate for other campaigns to see which produced relatively cheaper leads.
Worked examples
Fewer leads from the same spend
The same 500 spent producing only 10 leads instead raises the cost to 50 per lead, since only the lead count dropped.
Cost per lead calculator FAQ
- What counts as a "lead"?
- Whatever you’re tracking as a qualified prospect — a form fill, a sign-up, an inquiry — this calculator only applies the formula to whatever count you enter.
- What currency does this use?
- Whatever currency you type your numbers in — the calculator has no fixed currency of its own, and displays the result in a plain formatted number.
- What is a good cost per lead?
- It varies enormously by industry, offer and lead quality, so this tool reports your raw calculated cost without an invented universal benchmark.
- Does this calculator store my numbers?
- No — the calculation happens entirely in your browser as you type, and nothing is uploaded or saved.
- Does this account for lead quality?
- No — it is a pure cost-per-lead average; a cheaper lead that never converts is still counted the same as an expensive, high-quality one here.
- How is this different from cost per client?
- This measures acquisition cost for a new lead; the cost-per-client calculator instead measures your ongoing tool cost spread across existing clients.
