Content Marketing ROI Calculator
Model a content-library revenue scenario from the costs, traffic and conversion assumptions you enter. Default values are illustrative, not benchmarks. The result is not measured revenue or profit ROI. Calculations run in your browser.

Understand the Content Scenario
Monthly spend = articles per month × cost per article + tool costs. Modeled library size = articles per month × months published. Traffic = library size × entered monthly traffic per article. This assumes every article receives the same traffic and does not model ranking delays, decay, seasonality or duplicate audiences.
Leads = modeled traffic × lead conversion rate, rounded as shown. Modeled customers = leads × close rate. Revenue = customers × deal value. Use a deal value and outcome window consistent with the monthly interpretation; expected leads and sales are not observed payments.
Return on included spend = (modeled revenue − monthly spend) ÷ monthly spend ×100. This compares one month's modeled revenue from the accumulated library with one month's current publishing and tool spend. Historical library-building spend is excluded, so this is a monthly run-rate comparison, not the library's overall investment return. A full investment assessment requires aligned cash flows, outcome periods and complete costs. Product delivery costs, sales costs and other omitted expenses are not deducted, so this is not profit ROI. Revenue per article is a modeled allocation, not measured article attribution.
Included monthly spend/revenue is a dimensionless ratio. It is not investment payback time. Compare alternative assumptions and your actual acquisition cohorts before making a budget decision. See scoped SaaS economic measures for context, not default inputs.
