- 2Enter the click-through rate as a percentage.
- 3The calculator converts CTR into decimal form and divides clicks by that number to estimate impressions.

FAQ
How do you calculate impressions from clicks and CTR?+
You divide clicks by CTR in decimal form. For example, 1,500 clicks at a 3% CTR means 1,500 / 0.03 = 50,000 impressions.
Why do I need to convert CTR into a decimal?+
Because percentages need to be converted before using the formula. A 3% CTR becomes 0.03 in the calculation.
Can I use this for ads and email?+
Yes. The same math works for any situation where clicks and CTR are known and impressions need to be estimated.
What happens if CTR is zero?+
If CTR is zero, impressions cannot be calculated from clicks using this formula because division by zero is not valid.
