Method & formula
CPM puts media cost on a common basis of 1,000 impressions, which makes campaigns with different delivery volumes easier to compare.
- CPM = ad spend ÷ impressions × 1,000
Example
500 of ad spend across 100,000 impressions gives a CPM of 5.
FAQ
Does a lower CPM always mean better advertising?
No. CPM only measures delivery cost. Audience quality, clicks, conversions and revenue can make a higher-CPM campaign more valuable.
What happens with zero impressions?
CPM cannot be calculated because there is no impression denominator.
