CPA Calculator

CPA is short for Cost per action or cost per Acquisition. CPA tells you how much you have spent to achieve one goal (lead/conversion/sale) for your business.

For example, if you want someone to buy a product or buy your services. The CPA tells you how much money you spend in ads for this action to happen. Google Ads lets you optimize your campaigns based on CPA.

Below is my calculator which tells you the CPA of your ads using the number of conversions and total cost.

Cost Per Action Formula

The formula for calculating CPA is very easy. Cost per action is calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of actions/acquisitions completed. For example, if your ad spend was 200$ and by spending this budget 20 actions were completed. The CPA in this situation will be 200 divided by 20 which is equal to 10.
