Click-through-rate (CTR) Formula

The CTR calculation can be applied to paid ads as well as emails, with some key differences.

Ads CTR Formula

Paid ad CTR is calculated by taking the total unique clicks by the total impressions received by the ad.

Email CTR Formula

Email CTR is calculated by taking the number of recipients who have clicked on a link in an email divided by the number of recipients who opened that email.
