PPC Budget Calculator

Most budget conversations run forward: "what can I afford?" This one runs backward: how many jobs do you want, and what does the math say it takes to buy them? Click costs vary by market — the presets are editable.

Assumptions: search campaigns with decent landing pages; CPC ranges are broad US figures — your metro can sit outside them. Local Services Ads (pay-per-lead) change this math and often complement search.
