The average cart abandonment rate is 70.19% (Baymard Institute, 2024) — meaning 7 out of every 10 shoppers who add something to their cart leave without buying. Most ecommerce teams know their abandonment rate. Few have calculated what it actually costs in euros per month. This calculator does that in seconds.
Cart Abandonment Revenue Calculator
See exactly how much revenue cart abandonment is costing you — and what recovery is worth
How to Use This Calculator
- Monthly website sessions — total sessions to your store, from GA4 or Shopify analytics.
- Add-to-cart rate — the percentage of sessions that result in an add-to-cart event. Industry average is 8–10%. Find yours in GA4 under Ecommerce purchases → Add to carts ÷ Sessions.
- Cart abandonment rate — the percentage of initiated carts that are not completed. Industry average is 68–72%. GA4 funnel exploration: sessions with add_to_cart minus sessions with purchase, divided by sessions with add_to_cart.
- Average order value — your average completed transaction value. Pull from your Shopify or GA4 ecommerce report.
What the Results Show
The calculator shows your monthly revenue lost to abandonment, the number of carts started and abandoned, and the revenue available from recovering 10%, 20%, and 30% of abandoned carts. Recovering 10–15% of abandoned carts is realistic with a well-structured email recovery sequence and exit-intent optimization.
For context: the average ecommerce store with 20,000 monthly sessions, an 8% add-to-cart rate, 70% abandonment rate, and €80 AOV is losing over €71,000/month to cart abandonment. Recovering 15% of that is worth €10,000/month — or €128,000 annually — without spending a single euro more on traffic.
