CPM formula
CPM measures how much you pay for every 1,000 impressions:
CPM =
(Cost ÷ Impressions) × 1,000
(Cost ÷ Impressions) × 1,000
This standardizes campaign costs so you can compare efficiency across different creators, platforms, and ad placements.
Example calculation
Imagine a campaign with:
- $500 total cost
- 200,000 impressions
($500 ÷ 200,000) × 1,000
= $2.50 CPM
= $2.50 CPM

Frequently asked questions
What is a good CPM?
A good CPM varies by platform and industry. On social media, CPMs between $5 and $15 are common. Niche audiences or premium placements can push CPMs higher, while broad awareness campaigns often achieve lower CPMs.
What is the difference between CPM and CPE?
CPM measures the cost per 1,000 impressions, while CPE (Cost Per Engagement) measures the cost per individual interaction such as a like, comment, or share. CPM is best for awareness campaigns, CPE for engagement-focused goals.
Why does CPM matter in influencer marketing?
CPM lets you compare the cost-efficiency of different creators and campaigns on the same scale. It helps you understand how much you are paying to reach 1,000 people, regardless of total budget or audience size.
Can Avalan track CPM automatically?
Yes. Avalan pulls impression and spend data from your campaigns, calculates CPM in real time, and lets you compare performance across creators and platforms in one dashboard.
