How this calculator works
Affiliate clicks = pageviews x click-through rate. Orders = clicks x conversion rate. Gross commission = orders x average order value x commission rate. Estimated net revenue subtracts entered monthly content costs.
Net review revenue = pageviews x click rate x conversion rate x average order value x commission rate - monthly content cost.
