The decision this tool supports

Calculate revenue produced per lead and the implied revenue value of a future lead volume.

Why the business model works

Use attributable revenue from a matching cohort and window to avoid crediting leads for unrelated sales.

Inputs and operating assumptions

This model uses Revenue attributed to leads, Leads generated, Future lead target. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.

The formula

Revenue per lead = attributable revenue ÷ leads generated

What the calculator produces
