Is page RPM the same as ad RPM?
No. Page RPM uses page views, while ad RPM usually uses ad impressions. Use the same denominator as the report you are modeling.
Why do the RPM and CPC estimates differ?
They use different assumptions. RPM rolls coverage, clicks, CPC, and ad mix into one rate, while CPC depends directly on clicks and cost per click.
Can this predict exact AdSense earnings?
No. It is a planning calculator. Actual earnings depend on policy eligibility, ad coverage, traffic geography, advertiser demand, invalid traffic adjustments, and reporting data.
Can this replace accounting or legal advice?
No. Business tools are scenario planners. Contracts, taxes, payment timing, accounting treatment, refunds, and legal requirements can change decisions.
What should I do after using a business tool?
Save the assumptions, compare a conservative scenario, and review the result with actual books, contracts, or an advisor before making a high-stakes decision.
Why might another calculator show a different output?
Different tools may use different rounding, assumptions, default rates, methods, formulas, or input timing. Compare the visible method and inputs before relying on the output.
