ClickBank Calculator

Hi guys

There's this site called 'ClickBank Calculator' which basically shows you how much you will earn per sale on a product, by entering the product price and commission rate of that product. I won't post the link to it because I think it's against the rules but I'm pretty sure most of you know of it.
I wanted to ask if this calculator is really accurate and can be used for calculations.

Dont think any calculator can really tell you the end price there to many statistics involved

wont be that accrute in my opioion.

might be ok for just a genrual idea.

I know it's not 100% the end price, it's just an "idea" of the final price.

No, it isn't. EPC's are not public and even if they were there are way too many variables when it comes to traffic quality for this to make any sense. There's a couple of these floating around CBengine has one too. It's basic math based on fairyland numbers.

Absolutely no use. At all. None. You'd get the same results making up random numbers in your head about how much money you're going to make. And the fact you're trying to defend it makes me think you're trying to promote it.

The formula for Clickbank fees is as follows:

Product Price - 7.5% - $1 = Net * commission rate.

So say if the product is $37..

$37 - 7.5% - $1 = $33.225

So say if the vendor sets commission rate at 75%... you will get: $33.225 * 75% = 24.92 (rounded off).

Yes, all Clickbank fees calculator are correct. But here's the problem: most vendors have set 'exit price discounts'. So say if a lead tries to leave the page they will get that cheesy "Hold On! Get your special discount now! Get xxx for just $27!"

So now your commission will become : $27 - 7.5% - $1 = 23.975 * 75% (commission rate) = $17.98

Then there are upsells too. You never know if a customer buys any upsell products. And these upsell products may have discount pages too.In case if anyone is wondering they are called "Upsell Flows"...



Like after purchase of the initial product, the customer is taken to the first upsell product salespage. If the customer buys it, he/she will be brought to the second upsell product page; however, if say he/she declines the first upsell product page, he/she will be redirected to another page that shows a discounted price for the first upsell product page. If the customer accepts and buys it, he/she will be brought to the second upsell salespage. And so on. Usually, there are up to 3 upsell product pages for most vendors, though it really varies and most new vendors usually fail to utilise this opportunity or fail to make a discounted upsell page when the customer rejects the initial offer.

Anyway, the Clickbank fee calculator is useful if you want to know the exact profit you'll get from a sale. But it isn't definite as you never know if there are 'exit discount' pages and the customer buys it from there or if the customer purchases any upsell products. So it would be inaccurate when you're going to use it for analyzing your PPC campaigns and what not.

Hope that helps!

Bruh, don't jump at such conclusions. If I had wanted to promote it, I would've posted an image or something, but I didn't and I even said it : I won't post a link because it's against the rules. Heck, what would I even gain from promoting a mere 'calculator' when I don't even know who created it in the first place, I was just curious about it thus the reason I even posted here. Next time, if you're going to genuinely comment something in a helpful way do it, or else don't comment at all if you're going to accuse someone for something they're not trying to do.

The fact that this post is still active and not deleted, clearly says that the admins know I'm not promoting.
