What Is CPC?
CPC stands for Cost Per Click. It is a digital advertising metric that shows how much you pay, on average, for each click on an advertisement.
CPC is commonly used in online advertising platforms, search advertising, social media advertising and other pay-per-click campaigns.
CPC Formula
The CPC formula is simple:
Divide the total amount spent on an advertising campaign by the number of clicks received to calculate the average cost per click.
CPC Calculator Example
Total Ad Cost: $500
Number of Clicks: 1,000

Why Is CPC Important?
CPC helps advertisers understand how much they are spending to generate individual clicks. It can be useful when comparing campaigns, keywords, advertisements and traffic sources.
A lower CPC can mean that you are paying less for each click, but CPC should not be evaluated by itself. Conversion rate, conversion cost, revenue and the quality of traffic are also important when measuring advertising performance.
