## How to Calculate Cost Per Vote?

Example Problem:

The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Cost Per Vote.

First, determine the total amount spent on marketing. In this example, the campaign spent $100,000.00 on marketing. Next, determine the total number of votes received during the election. In this case, there were 10,000 votes received by the candidate. Finally, calculate the cost per vote using the formula above: CpV = TCM / TVR CpV =$100,000.00 / 10,000.00

CpV = \$10 / vote
