Estimate affiliate commissions in three steps
An affiliate earnings calculator turns your traffic and commission assumptions into a monthly estimate.
1
Add your traffic
Enter monthly visitors, click-through rate and sales conversion rate.
2
Set the commission
Choose the order value and a percentage or fixed commission.
3
Compare scenarios
Adjust your assumptions and compare monthly costs or earnings.
Projections use the values you enter, with clicks and sales rounded to whole numbers. They are estimates, not guaranteed earnings. Recurring estimates assume the selected payments continue, without churn or refunds.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about affiliate commission calculations
What is an affiliate commission calculator?
It estimates affiliate earnings or merchant commission costs from traffic, conversion rates, order value and your chosen commission structure.
How do I calculate affiliate commissions?
For percentage commissions: sales multiplied by average order value multiplied by commission rate. For example, 6 sales at $100 with a 20% rate produce $120 in commissions.
What inputs do I need?
Monthly visitors, click-through rate, conversion rate, average order value and either a percentage rate or fixed commission. Use your own data where available.
Percentage vs fixed commissions?
A percentage commission changes with the sale value. A fixed commission pays the same amount per qualifying sale. The calculator supports both.
How do recurring commission estimates work?
The recurring estimate multiplies one month’s commissions by the selected number of payments. It assumes the referred subscriptions continue, without cancellations, refunds or changing order values.
Are these earnings guaranteed?
No. These are projections based on your assumptions. Actual traffic, conversions, subscription retention and refunds can change the result.
