What is a Sales Funnel Calculator?
A sales funnel calculator is a powerful tool that helps marketers and business owners analyze the performance of their sales funnels by calculating key metrics such as conversion rates, ROI, customer acquisition costs, and revenue projections at each stage of the customer journey.
Sales funnels represent the path that potential customers take from initial awareness to final purchase. Understanding how your funnel performs at each stage is crucial for identifying bottlenecks, optimizing conversion rates, and maximizing your marketing return on investment.
Our Funnel Calculator analyzes your funnel using industry-standard metrics including:
- Conversion Rates: Percentage of visitors who move from one stage to the next
- Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Total cost to acquire a paying customer
- Return on Investment (ROI): Profit generated relative to marketing costs
- Revenue Projections: Expected income based on current funnel performance
- Funnel Efficiency: Overall effectiveness of your conversion process
