The calculation divides total advertising spend by impressions and multiplies by 1,000 to determine your cost per thousand impressions, then analyzes engagement and ROI metrics.
CPM = (Total Ad Spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000Impressions = (Budget ÷ CPM) × 1,000CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100%Reach = Impressions ÷ FrequencyThese fundamental formulas measure advertising reach and cost efficiency. CPM shows your cost to reach 1,000 people, while CTR and reach metrics provide context for campaign engagement and unique audience exposure.
Shows relationship between CPM, impressions, reach, and frequency
CPM is the standard pricing model for display advertising because it provides predictable costs for brand awareness campaigns. Unlike CPC where you pay per click, CPM charges based on visibility (impressions). This makes it ideal for top-of-funnel campaigns where the goal is maximum reach rather than immediate conversions. Lower CPM allows you to reach more people with the same budget.
