ROI

Email is usually the highest-ROI channel a business owns. This shows what one campaign is worth so you can decide what list growth and deliverability are really worth fixing.

How the campaign math chains together

Each rate multiplies the one before it, which is why email results swing so hard on small inputs. List size × open rate gives opens, opens × click rate gives clicks (the click rate here is of opens, not of the list), clicks × conversion rate gives orders, and orders × average order value gives revenue. ROI is revenue measured against the campaign cost you enter.

Because the chain multiplies, a 20% improvement at any single step produces the same 20% at the end. The practical consequence is that deliverability work and list hygiene often beat creative work: if a third of the list never sees the email, every downstream rate is being applied to a smaller number.

Where the estimate overstates reality

Open rate is the least trustworthy input on the page. Privacy features that pre-fetch images inflate it, so a model built on reported opens will tend to overstate revenue. Click rate and conversion rate are measured on real actions and are far more reliable. If you want a conservative figure, run the calculator twice — once with your reported open rate and once with something lower — and treat the gap as the uncertainty in the forecast.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate email marketing ROI?

Subtract the campaign cost from the revenue it generated, divide by the cost, and multiply by 100.

What is a good email open rate?

It varies by industry, but 20 to 40% is a common healthy range. Click and conversion rates matter more for revenue.

Why is email considered high ROI?

Because you own the list and the cost per send is tiny, so even modest conversion rates produce strong returns.

Should click rate be measured against opens or the whole list?

This calculator uses click rate of opens, which is the click-to-open rate. Click-through rate against the entire list is a different and much smaller number. Mixing the two is the most common reason an email forecast comes out several times too high.
