Conversion Rate Calculator with Confidence Range

Work out a conversion rate and the range it could plausibly sit in, given how much traffic stands behind it.

How to use

What it checks and how it works

Conversion rate is conversions divided by visits. The range is a Wilson score interval, the method the Wikipedia article on binomial proportion confidence intervals describes, at the confidence level you pick. It is wide when the base is small and narrows as traffic grows, which is why a rate of 4% on 100 visits and 4% on 10,000 visits are not the same evidence. Definitions differ between tools. Google's dimensions and metrics reference defines GA4's session key event rate as sessions with a key event divided by all sessions, and Google Ads defines its rate over ad interactions that can be tracked to a conversion. Use one definition on both sides of any comparison. If conversions exceed visits, the rate passes 100% and the range is left out, because the interval needs conversions to be at most the visits.

What is a good conversion rate?

It depends on the industry, the offer and what you count as a conversion, so this tool does not give a benchmark. Compare your own rate across time and across segments, using the same definition each time.

Why show a range?

A rate measured on a small number of visits can move a lot by chance. The range shows how far the true rate could plausibly be from the one you measured.

Can the rate be over 100%?

Yes, if you count every conversion and one visit can convert more than once. Google Ads notes the same for its own rate. Count converting sessions instead if you want a rate that stays at or below 100%.
