CPM (Cost Per Mille)
Ad spend per 1,000 impressions.
Formula
CPM = ad spend / impressions x 1,000
Interpretation
CPM describes the price of reach. It depends on inventory, auction, audience, placement and campaign type; comparisons only make sense within an identical scope.
Benchmark context
For Amazon Sponsored Ads, the research we checked found no reliable, dated platform-wide benchmark. We therefore deliberately do not invent a number; use your own campaign-level CPM with a documented period.
Source / as of: Source status: research lane check of 2026-05-06; no reliable platform benchmark found.
