Cases Per Million Calculator

Formula

To calculate Cases Per Million:

\[ CPM = \frac{C}{P} \times 1,000,000 \]

Where:

\(CPM\) is the Cases Per Million (cases/million people)
\(C\) is the total number of cases
\(P\) is the total population

What is Cases Per Million?

Cases Per Million (CPM) is a metric used to standardize the number of cases of a particular event (such as a disease) per one million people in a population. This allows for easier comparison between regions with different population sizes, providing a clearer picture of the prevalence of the event.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Cases (C) = 5000
Total Population (P) = 1,000,000

Using the formula:

\[ CPM = \frac{5000}{1,000,000} \times 1,000,000 = 5000 \text{ cases/million people} \]

The Cases Per Million is 5000 cases/million people.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Cases (C) = 7500
Total Population (P) = 2,000,000

Using the formula:

\[ CPM = \frac{7500}{2,000,000} \times 1,000,000 = 3750 \text{ cases/million people} \]

The Cases Per Million is 3750 cases/million people.
