YouTube Sponsorship ROI Formulas

Calculate immediate and long-term return on investment by analyzing campaign traffic funnel metrics, purchase rates, and customer lifetime value.

Total Investment = Sponsorship Fee + Production Costs
Clicks = Projected Views * Click-Through Rate (CTR %)
Conversions = Clicks * Landing Page Conversion Rate (CVR %)
Immediate Revenue = Conversions * Average Order Value (AOV)
LTV Revenue = Immediate Revenue * Customer LTV Multiplier
ROI (%) = ((Revenue Generated - Total Investment) / Total Investment) * 100
Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) = Total Investment / Conversions
Cost Per Mille (CPM) = (Total Investment / Projected Views) * 1000

LTV Multiplier accounts for repeat purchases over the customer's lifespan.

Real-World Scenario Example

"A brand sponsors a creator for $3,000, with $500 production costs. The video gets 50,000 views. CTR is 2%, LP CVR is 1.5%, and AOV is $75. Customer LTV multiplier is 1.5x."

Inputs

sponsorshipCost:3000
productionCost:500
projectedViews:50000
ctr:2
cvr:1.5
