1. What is Instagram Ad Cost Calculation?

The Instagram Ad Cost Calculator estimates the total cost of running ads on Instagram in Australia based on Cost Per Mille (CPM) and the number of impressions you want to achieve.

The calculator uses the Instagram Ad Cost formula:

Where:

• \( AUD\ CPM \) — Cost per thousand impressions in Australian dollars

Details: Accurate cost estimation helps marketers budget their ad campaigns effectively and compare the cost-efficiency of different advertising platforms.
