What it measures

LinkedIn ad reach is the number of unique professionals your budget exposes your ads to, based on impressions and average frequency.

Formula

Impressions = Budget ÷ CPM × 1,000 · Reach = Impressions ÷ Frequency

Worked example

A $5,000 budget at a $33 CPM generates about 151,515 impressions, reaching roughly 75,758 unique professionals at a frequency of 2.

How this calculator works

Impressions = budget ÷ CPM × 1,000. Reach = impressions ÷ frequency. LinkedIn CPMs are high but reach a precisely targeted professional audience, so judge reach by quality, not just volume.

Frequently asked questions

What's a typical LinkedIn CPM? +

LinkedIn CPMs commonly run $30–$50 — higher than other platforms — reflecting the value of its B2B targeting.

How do I maximize reach on LinkedIn? +

Keep frequency moderate, broaden targeting within your ICP, and refresh creative so you reach more unique members per dollar.

Is LinkedIn's higher CPM worth the smaller reach? +

For B2B, often yes. A few thousand impressions in front of the right decision-makers can outperform mass reach on a cheaper platform that misses your buyers entirely.

How do I maximize unique reach on LinkedIn? +

Keep frequency moderate, broaden targeting within your ideal customer profile, and refresh creative so the budget reaches more unique members rather than repeating to the same ones.

What audience size should a LinkedIn campaign target? +

LinkedIn recommends at least 50,000 members for Sponsored Content to give delivery room, though tighter account-based audiences can work for focused ABM efforts.
