How to calculate CPA

CPA = Ad spend ÷ Conversions. £1,000 for 40 conversions is a £25 CPA. Compare it to what a customer is worth (see the Lead Value and LTV tools).

CPA only means something next to value

A £25 CPA is superb if a customer is worth £300 and terrible if they’re worth £20. Always judge CPA against customer value, not in isolation.
