Marketing ROI & Funnel Calculator methodology

Arithmetic scenarios from your inputs not industry benchmarks disguised as a quality grade. Zero or invalid funnels do not receive a 'healthy' letter grade.

Arithmetic onlyNo fake gradesSensitivity ranges

Inputs

01Funnel volumes, rates, and economics you enter

All math is driven by numbers you type: traffic or spend proxies, stage volumes or conversion rates, average revenue, and margin assumptions. Nothing is scraped from analytics accounts. Garbage-in produces transparent invalid states, not fake health.

What we show

02Funnel math from your inputs

  • Input validity
  • Current stage rates (visit → lead → opportunity → customer)
  • User targets vs current
  • Revenue and gross-profit scenarios
  • Sensitivity ranges (what changes if rates move)

Worked interpretation

04Using scenarios without over-claiming

Example: 10,000 visits, 2% visit→lead, 20% lead→opportunity, 25% opportunity→customer, $12k ACV, 70% gross margin. The calculator shows customers and gross profit under current rates, then what happens if visit→lead rises to 3% with other stages fixed.

  • Prefer one bottleneck at a time in sensitivity mode so stakeholders see which stage moves economics most.
  • Target rates should be labeled assumptions not “industry standards” unless you source them yourself.
  • If inputs are incomplete, fix validity first grades intentionally stay off until the funnel is economically coherent.

Limits

05What this calculator does not do

  • Does not connect to ads platforms, CRM, or finance systems.
  • Does not prove attribution or multi-touch paths.
  • Does not replace cohort LTV models or cash-flow forecasts.
  • Does not invent benchmarks when you leave fields blank.
