Monthly affiliate earnings estimate.

Affiliate commission estimates how much an affiliate can earn from a set of monthly clicks, a conversion rate, the average order value, and the merchant's commission percentage. The main metric is commission per month, with EPC (earnings per click) as a secondary check - EPC is what matters when comparing affiliate programmes because click volume varies wildly by traffic source.

20,000 monthly clicks at 2% conversion = 400 sales. At 80 average order and 10% commission, that's 3,200/month or 38,400/year. EPC works out to 0.16 per click, a healthy number for content affiliates. Below 0.05 EPC a programme rarely justifies the traffic cost; above 0.50 is excellent for high-intent traffic.

Cookie windows matter enormously. A 30-day cookie means if the user comes back and buys within 30 days, the affiliate still gets credit. Amazon's 24-hour cookie is one of the tightest in the industry; most niche merchants offer 30-60 days, some up to 365 days for high-ticket items. Longer cookie windows push actual earnings 20-40% higher than this calculator estimates.

Run it with sensible defaults

Using monthly clicks of 20,000, conversion rate of 2%, avg order value of 80, commission rate of 10%, the calculation works out to 3,200.00. Nudge the inputs toward your own situation and the output recalculates instantly. The defaults are meant as a starting point, not a recommendation.

The levers in this calculation

The inputs — Monthly Clicks, Conversion Rate %, Avg Order Value, Commission Rate %, and Cookie Window (days) — do not pull with equal force. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

How the math works

Conversions = clicks × conversion %. Revenue = conversions × AOV. Commission = revenue × commission %. EPC = commission ÷ clicks. The working is transparent — you can verify every step yourself in the formula section below. No black box, no opaque "proprietary model".

What the score tells you

Headline financial numbers — income, savings, debt — each tell part of the story. This calculation stitches several together into a single read you can track over time. The value is in the direction, not the absolute number.

What this doesn't capture

The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.
