Conversion Rate Calculator.

Two numbers in, your conversion rate out, plus a band reading that tells you whether the number is below average, average, or strong for paid acquisition. The calculator does not pretend the answer is more precise than it is.

Sessions or unique visitors over the same period as the conversions count.

Completed actions in the same period: purchases, signups, or qualified leads. Use the strict definition of conversion that matches your business outcome.

Frequently asked

Six questions about conversion rate.

How is conversion rate calculated?

Conversion rate is conversions divided by visitors over the same period, expressed as a percentage. 275 conversions from 10,000 visitors is a 2.75 percent conversion rate. The calculator on this page does the maths and overlays the band reading for your category.

What is a good conversion rate in 2026?

It depends on the category and traffic source. Direct-to-consumer ecommerce on warm paid traffic typically converts at 2 to 4 percent (median ~2.8%). Lead-gen on paid search typically converts at 5 to 12 percent. Services and trades quote requests sit around 8 percent on intent-led traffic. The calculator returns your number against these bands.

Why is my conversion rate so low?

Three usual suspects, in this order: traffic quality (the campaign is sending people who do not want what you sell); the offer (the price, guarantee, or value proposition does not match the audience expectation); the funnel (a specific drop-off step that loses qualified visitors). The funnel-leak diagnostic in our CRO engagement isolates which one is the bottleneck.

Should I track sessions or unique visitors for the denominator?

Use whichever is consistent with how you measure conversions. If your conversion is per-order, sessions usually align better. If your conversion is per-customer (signup, qualified lead), unique visitors aligns better. The point is consistency across periods, not which choice is theoretically correct.

What is the difference between micro and macro conversions?

Macro conversions are the business outcome (purchase, signup, qualified lead). Micro conversions are intermediate signals (add-to-cart, email signup, page-scroll). Most operators we audit are over-tracking micro conversions and under-optimising macros. The calculator deliberately asks for the macro number; that is the one that funds the business.

Does mobile conversion rate differ from desktop?

Yes, almost always lower on mobile (often 30 to 60 percent of desktop CR for ecommerce). The gap is usually a sign of friction: slow loads, hard-to-tap buttons, painful checkout. Worth segmenting the calculator inputs by device if you have the data.
