Average Order Value Uplift Calculator
Divide the increase by where you are now. Moving 42,000 to 50,000 needs a 19.05% uplift. Hold orders at 420 and revenue goes from 17,640,000 to 21,000,000 — 3,360,000 more. It arrives without a single extra visitor, which is what separates it from raising traffic or conversion: no media cost attaches to it.

Formula
Uplift needed = (Target order value − Average order value now) ÷ Average order value now × 100, Revenue gained = (Target order value − Average order value now) × Orders
This assumes order volume holds. Raising a minimum order value or selling only in bundles can cut the number of orders, and then revenue does not rise by the amount shown. If the AOV came from lifting a free-shipping threshold, take the shipping cost out of the gain before believing it. AOV is a mean, so a few large orders drag it — read it next to the median.
