Creator earnings calculator

See what your audience could earn from brand partnerships. Drag the sliders to match your reach and the programs you'd promote.

The arithmetic this calculator runs: the arithmetic behind creator affiliate earnings: impressions times click-through rate gives clicks, clicks times conversion rate gives sales, sales times average order value gives referred revenue, and that times the commission rate gives gross commission, with earnings per click being gross commission divided by clicks. Every figure shown is a worked illustration rather than a measured result.
Earnings per click is the output that lets you compare two programs honestly.

How much can creators earn from affiliate marketing?

A creator's affiliate income is the product of five things: how many people see your link, how many click, how many of those buy, the average order value, and your commission rate. Small improvements compound — doubling your conversion rate or promoting higher-commission programs can dramatically change the monthly total. Use the calculator above to model your own numbers, then browse programs by niche to find the commission rates that fit.

Calculator FAQ
