Calculate revenue per visitor
Revenue per visitor, or RPV, measures the average revenue generated by each visitor to your website. It is calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of visitors over the same period. A site earning twenty thousand from forty thousand visitors has a revenue per visitor of fifty cents. RPV combines two other metrics, conversion rate and average order value, into a single figure that captures how effectively your traffic turns into money.
Because it reflects both how often visitors buy and how much they spend, RPV is a more complete measure of site performance than conversion rate alone.
Using RPV to optimise
Revenue per visitor is especially useful when running tests, because a change that raises conversion rate but lowers average order value, or vice versa, might not improve revenue at all. RPV captures the net effect, so optimising for it avoids being misled by a single metric. It also makes the value of traffic tangible, which helps when deciding how much to pay for advertising or SEO.
Multiplying RPV by expected visitors gives a quick revenue forecast, and comparing RPV across channels shows which sources of traffic are most valuable. All calculation happens locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is revenue per visitor?
It is total revenue divided by the number of visitors, showing the average revenue each visitor generates.
How is RPV better than conversion rate?
RPV combines conversion rate and average order value, so it captures the net revenue effect that either metric alone can miss.
Why use RPV in testing?
A change might raise conversions but cut order value. RPV reflects the combined result, preventing misleading conclusions from one metric.
How does RPV help with ad spend?
It shows the average value of a visitor, which helps you decide how much you can profitably pay to acquire traffic.
Should I use unique or total visitors?
Use a consistent definition. Unique visitors give a per-person view, while sessions give a per-visit view. Keep it the same across comparisons.
