Enter the number of purchases and the number of events where a purchase could have occurred into the Purchase Rate Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Purchase Rate. 

Purchase Rate Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Purchase Rate.

PUR = P / E * 100
  • Where PUR is the Purchase Rate (%)
  • P is the number of purchases 
  • E is the number of events where a purchase could have occurred 

To calculate the purchase rate, divide the number of purchases by the number of leads or events where a purchase could have occurred, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Purchase Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Purchase Rate.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the number of purchases.
    • The number of purchases is given as: 500.
  2. Next, determine the number of events where a purchase could have occurred.
    • The number of events where a purchase could have occurred is provided as: 2000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Purchase Rate using the equation above: 

PUR = #P / #E * 100

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

PUR = 500 / 2000 * 100 = 25.00 (%)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

number of purchases = 600

number of events where a purchase could have occurred = 1000

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..

PUR = #P / #E * 100 = ?
