Frequently asked questions

What does the ARPU calculator actually compute?

It takes Total revenue and Number of users and derives Average revenue per user from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

What information do I need to provide?

2 values: Total revenue ($) and Number of users. Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

Can you show a worked example?

With Total revenue = $100,000.00 and Number of users = 5,000, the calculator returns Average revenue per user = $20.00. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

When would I actually use this?

Before and after a campaign: turning a target into a daily budget, comparing two channels on the same basis, and deciding whether the return justifies continuing.

What is the most common mistake?

Judging ROAS without subtracting the cost of goods. A 3× return on ad spend is a loss whenever the margin is under a third — the ratio says nothing about profit on its own.

What is the difference between the ARPU calculator and the Average order value (AOV) calculator?

This one returns Average revenue per user; the Average order value (AOV) calculator returns Average order value. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Impressions from reach and frequency is the closest one after this: Calculate total ad impressions from unique reach and average frequency.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Lead-to-customer rate calculator and NPS calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from, and how current are they?

The formulas are the industry-standard ones every ad platform uses; the inputs come from your own reporting. Platforms differ in attribution window and in what counts as a conversion, so figures rarely reconcile exactly between them.
