Overview
Use when launch windows are bounded and refunds have not netted yet. Stack refund and platform fee deductions manually for net optimism checks.
Formula
Either visitors × conversion % × price, or enrollees × price—match available inputs to your cohort evidence.
Example calculation
Using the default example values from the JSON seed for this tool:
- Visitors to sales page (period)
- 12000
- Conversion rate to purchase
- 3.2
- Course price
- 297
Result: $114,048.00 (Estimated course revenue)
How to interpret this result
Gross course sales from traffic × conversion × price for the launch window you picked.
Refunds and platform fees are not netted unless you adjust the price input.
For cohort launches, keep the conversion window aligned with the funnel you measured.
When to use this calculator
- When you model traffic × conversion × price for a launch window
- Before you set refund assumptions aside and want gross sales first
- When you compare two price points with the same funnel
- When traffic is small and conversion estimates should stay humble
Rule of thumb
Gross launch math ignores refunds and platform cuts unless you folded them back into price or conversion.
Terms used in this calculator
- Conversion rate
- Share of a clear baseline group—visits, sessions, leads—that finished the goal you named.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting refunds and chargebacks in net planning.
- Using cohort conversion without enough traffic to stabilize CVR.
- Double-counting upsells already bundled in price.
What to do next
Funnel conversion plus AOV tools matter when traffic is warm but cart size is not.
How to improve this result
- Add proof (outcomes, testimonials, guarantees where allowed) before chasing more ad spend.
- Follow up leads inside 24 hours when the funnel is high touch.
- Model refunds and platform fees in a second column when net cash matters.
