Email Campaign ROI Calculator
Measures the return on investment for email marketing campaigns, comparing revenue generated against campaign costs.
How to Calculate Email Campaign ROI Calculator
The formula to calculate this metric is straightforward.
Email ROI = ((Revenue Generated by Campaign - Total Campaign Cost) / Total Campaign Cost) x 100
A Real-World Example
Scenario: You send a target promotional broadcast to your email list to clear slow-moving alternators. The professional copywriting, platform delivery fees, and segmentation labor total $300. The campaign generates $3,600 in tracked checkout sales.
Net Email Profit: $3,600 - $300 = $3,300
Email Campaign ROI: ($3,300 / $300) x 100 = 1,100%
