Pinterest Affiliate Earnings Formulas

Estimate your monthly affiliate revenue by converting pin impressions into click traffic, order volume, and commissions.

Outbound Clicks = Monthly Impressions × (Pin CTR ÷ 100)
Total Sales Volume = Outbound Clicks × (Affiliate CVR ÷ 100)
Gross Order Value = Total Sales Volume × Average Order Value (AOV)
Monthly Earnings = Gross Order Value × (Commission Rate ÷ 100)
Annual Earnings = Monthly Earnings × 12
EPM (Earnings Per 1,000 Views) = (Monthly Earnings ÷ Monthly Impressions) × 1000

Pin CTR (Click-Through Rate) measures the percentage of impressions that click the outbound link. Affiliate CVR measures the conversion rate on the retailer's page.
