Formula
Conversion rate formula
Conversion rate = conversions / selected denominator x 100; target conversions = denominator x target rate / 100Use the same conversion event, denominator, tracking window, and filtering rules before comparing rates.

Funnel efficiency summary
Keep the conversion event, denominator, date range, channel, and filtering rules consistent before comparing rates.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Conversions | 480 |
| Denominator | 12,000 |
| Non-conversions | 11,520 |
| Conversions per 1,000 | 40 |
| Target conversions | 600 |
| Conversions needed for target | 120 |
| Relative lift vs baseline | 0.00% |
Planning note
Conversion rate is only comparable when the event and denominator stay fixed. A signup rate from landing-page visitors is not the same metric as a purchase rate from checkout sessions.
Planning comparison only. Check estimates, omitted costs, timing, and constraints before making an operating decision.
How to use
Steps
- Enter the number of conversion events for the campaign, page, or funnel step.
- Enter the matching denominator, such as visitors, sessions, clicks, or checkout starts.
- Add a target rate and baseline rate if you want a quick gap and lift check.
- Compare the rate only against scenarios that use the same event and denominator definitions.

Calculator use
Best for
- Pricing, runway, cash flow, or work assumptions before an operating decision.
- Base, conservative, and optimistic cases with visible inputs.
Before relying on it
Check first
- Use the same conversion event, denominator, tracking window, and filtering rules before comparing rates.
- Mixing scenarios, units, or time periods in one comparison.
- Leaving out material costs, capacity limits, uncertainty, or dependencies.
Details
What to know before using the result
Denominator choiceVisitors, clicks, sessions, or starts
The denominator defines the metric. Changing it changes the meaning of the rate.
Target gapConversions needed
The target gap shows how many additional conversions are needed at the same denominator volume.
Baseline liftRelative rate movement
Lift is useful when comparing a test to a prior page, campaign, or control experience.
Benchmarks
How to read the result
Conversion rate: Conversions / denominator x 100.
Use for funnel steps, campaign clicks, forms, signups, trials, purchases, or other tracked events.
Target gap: Target conversions - actual conversions.
Useful for estimating how much improvement is needed at the current traffic volume.
Lift: (Current - baseline) / baseline.
Useful for test readouts when the baseline metric is stable and comparable.

FAQ
Common questions
What denominator should I use?
Use the denominator that matches the question: visitors for page conversion, clicks for ad conversion, checkout starts for checkout completion, or leads for sales close rate.
Why do two conversion rates differ across tools?
They may use different event definitions, attribution windows, bot filtering, consent behavior, duplicate handling, or denominator choices.
Can I compare conversion rates from different funnel steps?
Only if you label them clearly. A signup rate from visitors and a purchase rate from checkout starts are different metrics.
