Results are estimates for planning and education. Confirm rates, taxes, fees, and legal requirements with the relevant institution or a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

Formula and method

10,000 pageviews per day with two ad impressions per page gives 20,000 daily impressions. At a 1% click rate and 0.50 earned per click, the model gives 200 clicks and 100 of revenue per day.

Impressions = pageviews × ads per page; clicks = impressions × click rate; revenue = clicks × earnings per click

Assumptions and limitations

  • This models only the click-based revenue relationship. It is not a full AdSense settlement model and does not calculate impression-based revenue, auction outcomes, invalid traffic adjustments or guaranteed income.
  • Traffic and results are rates per selected period. Default periods are days; optional months and years are fixed 30.4375-day and 365.25-day intervals.
  • Use nonnegative assumptions measured on a consistent basis. Fractional expected clicks describe a statistical average rather than a literal event count. Use publisher earnings per click, not an advertiser bid before deductions.

Common questions

Does the calculation predict actual ad income?

No. It multiplies the supplied assumptions. Actual monetization depends on delivery, demand, pricing, adjustments and the platform’s payment model.

Can I show monthly revenue?

Select months in the revenue period selector. The input and output period selectors convert rates; the month used here is a fixed 30.4375-day interval.
