What is CPM?

CPM (Cost Per Mille) means cost per thousand impressions. It’s a standard metric in advertising to compare the price of 1,000 ad views across different platforms.

CPM Formula

CPM = (Cost ÷ Impressions) × 1000
Rearrange to find any missing value: Cost = (CPM × Impressions) / 1000, Impressions = (Cost ÷ CPM) × 1000.

CPM Example

If you spend $500 for 250,000 impressions: CPM = ($500 ÷ 250,000) × 1000 = $2.00. You pay $2.00 per thousand views.
