Formula Used

The lead calculator uses the following formula to estimate potential leads:

Lead Estimation Formula

Estimated Leads = (Marketing Budget × Conversion Rate) × Market Size Factor

Where:

Marketing Budget = Your daily marketing spend
Conversion Rate = Percentage of leads that convert (selected from options)
Market Size Factor = Adjustment based on target market size (small = 0.8, medium = 1.0, large = 1.2)

The calculator then breaks down the estimated leads into call volume, email inquiries, and online leads based on typical distribution patterns in the real estate market.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Small Market

If you spend $500 daily on marketing, select a 3% conversion rate, and choose a small market size, the calculation would be:

Estimated Leads = ($500 × 0.03) × 0.8 = 12 leads

This would break down to approximately 4 calls, 6 email inquiries, and 2 online leads.

Example 2: Large Market

For $1,000 daily marketing spend, 5% conversion rate, and large market size:

Estimated Leads = ($1,000 × 0.05) × 1.2 = 60 leads

This would break down to approximately 20 calls, 30 email inquiries, and 10 online leads.

Lead Distribution Comparison
Market Size	Conversion Rate	Marketing Spend	Estimated Leads
Small	3%	$500/day	12
Medium	4%	$500/day	20
Large	5%	$1,000/day	60
