Course Revenue Calculator

Forecast gross sales using traffic × purchase conversion × price—or students × ticket price path.

Overview

Use when launch windows are bounded and refunds have not netted yet. Stack refund and platform fee deductions manually for net optimism checks.

When to use this calculator

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

Example calculation

Using the default example values from the JSON seed for this tool:

Visitors to sales page (period)

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.

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.
