Formula Used

Gross Impressions
Monthly Pageviews × Ad Units per Page

Valid Monetized Impressions
Gross Impressions × (1 − Ad Block Rate) × Viewability Rate × Fill Rate × (1 − Invalid Traffic Rate)

Display Revenue
(Valid Monetized Impressions ÷ 1,000) × Average CPM × Seasonality Multiplier

Click Revenue
(Valid Monetized Impressions × CTR) × Average CPC × Seasonality Multiplier

Affiliate Revenue
(Valid Monetized Impressions × CTR × Affiliate Click Share × Conversion Rate) × CPA Commission × Seasonality Multiplier

Net Revenue
(Display Revenue + Click Revenue + Affiliate Revenue + Sponsorship Fee) × Publisher Share

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does this estimator calculate?

It estimates monthly and annual advertising income from display CPM, click CPC, affiliate CPA, and sponsorship revenue using traffic, quality, and monetization assumptions.

2) Why are valid impressions lower than gross impressions?

Gross impressions assume every ad slot is available. Valid impressions remove losses from ad blockers, low viewability, unfilled inventory, and invalid traffic.

3) When should I use a seasonality multiplier?

Use it when demand changes by month, holiday period, or campaign cycle. A value above 1.00 lifts performance, while a value below 1.00 reduces it.

4) Does sponsorship revenue depend on impressions?

Not in this model. Sponsorship is treated as a flat monthly fee, which makes it easy to blend guaranteed revenue with performance-based income.

5) What is page RPM?

Page RPM shows retained revenue for every 1,000 pageviews. It helps compare monetization strength across months, channels, or websites with different traffic levels.

6) How should I choose CTR and CPC values?

Use historical reporting, partner dashboards, or campaign averages. Conservative assumptions usually produce more reliable planning models than overly optimistic click behavior.

7) Can I model only one revenue source?

Yes. Set unused monetization fields to zero. The calculator will still estimate the active streams and keep the summary, exports, and graph accurate.

8) Why include publisher share?

Publisher share converts gross income into retained income after partner splits, platform fees, or revenue-sharing agreements. It gives a more realistic business forecast.
