Mathematical Audit

YouTube Shopping Affiliate Commission Formula

Commission revenue is calculated from a funnel: monthly views → product clicks (via CTR) → conversions → commission per sale.

Monthly Clicks = Monthly Views × (Click-Through Rate / 100)
Monthly Conversions = Monthly Clicks × (Conversion Rate / 100)
Commission Per Sale = Avg Product Price × (Commission % / 100)
Monthly Commission Revenue = Monthly Conversions × Commission Per Sale
Effective RPM = (Monthly Commission / Monthly Views) × 1,000

YouTube Shopping affiliate commissions typically range from 5-20% depending on the product category and brand partnership. Electronics and fashion tend to have lower rates (5-10%), while digital products and specialty items can offer 15-30%.
