- How this is calculated
Example: a modest content site
With 5,000 monthly visitors, a 3% click-through rate, a 2% conversion rate, and $30 average commission, that's roughly 150 clicks and 3 conversions a month - an estimated $90/month ($1,080/year). Enter your own numbers above to see your real estimate.
Methodology
Estimated clicks = traffic × click-through rate. Estimated conversions = clicks × conversion rate. Estimated monthly income = conversions × average commission, annualized by multiplying by twelve. Real-world results vary widely based on traffic quality, offer fit, and audience trust.
Data source: none - this is pure arithmetic on the numbers you enter, no third-party pricing data involved. Last reviewed: September 2026.

Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is this income estimate?
- It's a straightforward multiplication of the numbers you enter, not a prediction. Real results depend heavily on traffic quality, offer fit, and audience trust - factors this tool can't measure.
- What's a realistic click-through rate to enter?
- It varies widely by placement and content type. Check your own analytics if you already have traffic, or start conservative (1-3%) if you're estimating for a new site.
- Does this account for refunds or chargebacks?
- No - the estimate is based on gross conversions and commission, not net of refunds, which most affiliate programs do apply after the fact.
- Why does the average commission field affect the total so much?
- Because estimated income is directly proportional to it - doubling your average commission doubles the estimated income for the same traffic, click-through rate, and conversion rate.
