Good to know
- Every rate here is a number you type. Your affiliate dashboard shows real clicks and sales, so use those to work out your click rate (clicks ÷ views) and your sale rate (sales ÷ clicks). If you have no data yet, the result is a guess.
- Link click rates are usually small, because most viewers do not open links in a description. Do not copy a rate from someone else’s channel.
- Commission can be a fixed amount per sale or a percentage of the price. Choose the one your program uses. Programs also have rules about cookies, returns and payouts, so check their terms.
- If you use affiliate links, tell viewers. Many countries require it, and YouTube has a setting for paid promotion. This is not legal advice.

About the Affiliate Earnings Calculator
?What the affiliate calculator does
It follows affiliate income from views to money: views, then the share who click your link, then the share of clickers who buy, then the commission on each sale. You type each rate, taken from your own affiliate dashboard.
It assumes nothing. If you have no real click or sale rates yet, the result is a guess. Everything runs in your browser.

★Examples
A fixed commission
40,000 views, 1.5% click the link, 3% of clicks buy, 12 per sale.
Example:
600 clicks, 18 sales, 216 in income, which is 5.40 per 1,000 views.
A percentage commission
The same funnel, an average price of 60 and a commission of 8%.
Example:
Each sale pays 4.80, so 18 sales earn 86.40.
A goal
You want 500 at 5.40 per 1,000 views.
Example:
500 ÷ 5.40 × 1,000 = about 92,593 views.
