How we calculate

Where the numbers come from.

  1. 01Lead campaigns on Facebook and Instagram run by Lemon Agency (the agency behind Efekto) on four ad accounts, plus lead campaigns of Efekto clients. Test accounts are excluded.
  2. 02A lead is a submitted Meta instant form, or a lead event on a landing page when there was no form. We never add the two together.
  3. 03A campaign counts once per country, and only if it spent at least PLN 300 and brought at least 5 leads. A bucket (industry x country) is shown only with 3+ campaigns - one or two campaigns is an anecdote, not data.
  4. 04Amounts are in Polish zloty and converted at fixed rates (1 USD = 3.66 PLN, 1 EUR = 4.25 PLN, 1 GBP = 4.9 PLN). No client names, no individual campaigns.
  5. Data updated 2026-10-23.

Questions

How much does a lead from Facebook ads cost in 2026?
Across the 304 lead campaigns in our data the average was about $20 per lead, but the spread between industries is large: from about $5 in the cheapest bucket to about $44 in the most expensive. Use the calculator for your industry and country.
Why is my cost per lead higher than the calculator says?
The most common reasons: a long or demanding form, an offer that is not clear in the first line, a creative that has been running for weeks, or a budget too small for Meta to learn. A typical cost is a median - half of the campaigns paid more.
How many leads will I get from $15 a day?
Divide a month of budget (about 30 days) by your industry's typical cost per lead. At $15 a day that is about $456 a month; with a $40 lead that is roughly 11 leads. The calculator does this for your industry, with a range.
Is this a guarantee?
No. It is a statistic from real campaigns, not a promise. Your result depends on your offer, your area and your creative.
