Facebook Ads Cost Calculator – Free Meta Ads Budget Planner
Plan a Facebook and Instagram ad campaign before you spend. Enter your daily budget, days and expected rates to estimate impressions, clicks, leads and cost per lead, or work back from the number of leads you want.
How Facebook Ads Costs Work
Meta charges by auction, so there is no fixed price. Your budget turns into results through three rates: CPM, CTR and lead rate.
| Step | Rate | Example with ₹15,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Budget → impressions | CPM ₹100 | 1,50,000 impressions |
| Impressions → clicks | CTR 1% | 1,500 clicks (₹10 each) |
| Clicks → leads | Lead rate 5% | 75 leads (₹200 each) |
Example numbers only. Improving any one rate lowers your cost per lead.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Facebook ads cost in India?
There is no fixed price. You set a budget, and results depend on CPM, CTR and conversion rate, which change with audience, offer, creative and season. Test with a small budget first.
What is a good daily budget to start Meta ads?
Many small businesses start with a few hundred rupees a day for at least a week, so Meta has enough data to learn. Then they scale what works.

Cost per lead = cost per click ÷ lead rate. Cost per click = CPM ÷ 1,000 ÷ CTR. This tool does the maths for you.

One person can see your ad several times. Reach counts people; impressions count every view.
