How to Use This Tool
Enter your total campaign investment, including influencer fees, content creation costs, and any associated expenses. Input the total revenue generated from the campaign, which can include direct sales, affiliate commissions, or attributed revenue. Select the campaign type and influencer tier to contextualize the results. Click 'Calculate ROI' to see a detailed breakdown, or 'Reset' to clear all fields.
Formula and Logic
The tool calculates Net Profit as Revenue minus Investment. ROI Percentage is (Net Profit / Investment) * 100. Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) is estimated based on investment and a simplified unit assumption. Revenue per Dollar Spent is Revenue divided by Investment. All calculations are performed in real-time using vanilla JavaScript.
Practical Notes
For e-commerce sellers, consider including shipping and handling costs in your investment. Small business owners should account for platform fees (e.g., Shopify, Amazon) when calculating revenue. Trade businesses may need to adjust for bulk order discounts or wholesale margins. Benchmark ROI against industry standards: 5:1 revenue-to-spend ratio is often considered strong in influencer marketing.
