How to calculate TikTok CPM with example

Imagine that you spent $5,000 on a TikTok ad campaign that generated 500,000 impressions. To calculate CPM:

TikTok CPM (Cost Per Mile) = (Total Ad Spend (in USD) for TikTok Ads/Total Impressions) × 1000

CPM=(5,000/500,000)×1000 = 10

In this example, your TikTok CPM is $10, indicating that you spent $10 on average to reach every 1,000 viewers.
