CPC budget table by paid click count
Click cost equals paid clicks multiplied by average CPC. At an assumed average CPC of 0.10, 10,000 paid clicks cost 1,000 currency units.

| 0.01 | 10.00 | 100.00 | 1000.00 |
| 0.05 | 50.00 | 500.00 | 5000.00 |
| 0.10 | 100.00 | 1000.00 | 10000.00 |
| 0.25 | 250.00 | 2500.00 | 25000.00 |
| 0.50 | 500.00 | 5000.00 | 50000.00 |
| 1.00 | 1000.00 | 10000.00 | 100000.00 |
| 2.00 | 2000.00 | 20000.00 | 200000.00 |
Formula & method
Click cost = paid clicks × average CPC
Average CPC = total click cost ÷ paid clicksUse an average CPC for the click population you intend to model. A maximum bid is a ceiling or bidding input, not necessarily the average amount charged. If the platform bills impressions, use a CPM model rather than assuming every landing-page visit was a paid click.
The table excludes platform fees, taxes, tracking costs and refunds. Add separately documented charges once, using the fee base specified by the provider. Use one currency consistently and align the paid-click count with the cost reporting period.
Worked example
For 7,500 paid clicks at an average 0.08 CPC, the model gives 600.00. If the average rises to 0.10 for the same volume, cost rises to 750.00, a 25% increase.
What can change the answer
The rates are hypothetical and are not suggested bids or industry averages. Paid clicks and measured website sessions may differ because of repeat clicks, loading failures and measurement rules.
