1. What is the CPM Impression Calculator?

The CPM (Cost Per Mille) Impression Calculator estimates the number of impressions from advertising cost and CPM rate. It helps advertisers plan and analyze their digital marketing campaigns effectively.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CPM formula:
