Affiliate EPC Calculator

Calculate net earnings per tracked affiliate click after reversals. Use it to compare placements or offers with matching reporting definitions and enough time for commissions to settle.

Calculate net earnings per click

Net EPC = (gross commissions − reversals) ÷ tracked clicks.

Collect clicks and commissions for the same cohort

Start with tracked clicks from a specific offer and period. Enter gross commissions credited to those clicks, then enter commissions reversed through returns or rejected actions. If your export already reports net approved commission, use that amount as gross for this calculation and enter zero reversals to avoid deducting them twice.

Example: gross EPC versus settled EPC

With 800 clicks and $540 gross commission, gross EPC is $0.675. After $100 in reversals, net earnings are $440 and net EPC is $0.55. If another placement produces $260 from 400 clicks, its EPC is $0.65. Combined EPC is $700 divided by 1,200 clicks, about $0.58.

Investigate before moving links

Group comparisons by article, placement, or partner sub-ID. Check the click count and approval rate beside EPC. A placement with one high-paying order can appear to beat a larger cohort. Also check whether the destination still serves the reader and whether eligibility or payout terms changed.

Can EPC tell me when I will get paid?

EPC measures the amount earned per click for the inputs supplied. Keep approved, payable, and deposited amounts separate in a cash forecast. Network reports may display EPC per 100 clicks, so check the unit before comparing numbers.
