How the TikTok ads budget is worked out

  • Clicks you need

    clicks = target orders ÷ conversion rate

    At a 1.5% conversion rate, 300 orders need 20,000 clicks.

  • Budget from CPC or CPM

    budget = clicks × CPC or clicks ÷ CTR ÷ 1,000 × CPM

    Pick the cost you know best. Divide by the number of days for the daily budget.

  • Check the minimums

    TikTok needs a daily budget over R$290 per campaign and over R$116 per ad group. A lifetime ad group budget must be at least R$116× days.
