Your result
Enter your list size, click rate, offer conversion rate, and average offer price to estimate the value of one monthly promotion.
The formula behind the estimate
Each output follows from the values you enter. Open rate is not an input, because a subscriber-based click rate already counts the readers who opened.
- Monthly revenue estimate
- List size × click rate × offer conversion × average price
- Annual revenue estimate
- Monthly estimate × 12
- Revenue per subscriber
- Annual estimate / active list size
Useful scenario, honest limits
Most newsletter providers report click rate as clicks divided by subscribers, so multiplying open rate and click rate would count the opening step twice and understate the estimate. This calculator uses one monthly promotion as the scenario and shows the annualized result for comparison. It does not value the newsletter as a saleable asset, prove that a send caused a purchase, or predict future revenue. Change one assumption at a time and compare the result with your own provider and checkout records.
Frequently asked questions
Why is open rate not part of the formula?
A subscriber-based click rate already represents the share of the list that clicked. Multiplying by open rate again would double-count that funnel step. Open rate remains visible as context.
Is this the price I could sell my newsletter for?
No. The result is an annualized revenue scenario based on the inputs you provide. It is not a business valuation and does not account for costs, retention, concentration, or deal terms.
Does Distinctful store the numbers I enter?
No. This calculator runs in your browser. It does not ask for provider credentials or save the figures you enter.
