Campaign uplift calculator

Enter the result with the campaign and the baseline level of the same metric without it — for example, the organic level before launch or a control group. The calculator works out the uplift.

The same metric over a comparable period without the campaign — ideally a control group that never saw the ads, not just "the period before launch"

How it is calculated

Uplift = (result with campaign − baseline) ÷ baseline × 100%. It's the gain that can be attributed specifically to the campaign, not to the overall trend that would have happened anyway.

The quality of this calculation depends entirely on how honest the baseline is as a model of "what would have happened without the campaign." Comparing against the same period before launch understates or overstates the effect whenever there's seasonality or organic growth in the business — part of the change gets credited to the campaign even though it would have happened regardless.

The most reliable way to get an honest baseline is a control group that never saw the campaign at all, under otherwise equal conditions — the same logic used in A/B testing. Without a real control, uplift should be treated as an approximate estimate, not a precise measurement of effect.
