## Example

A wellness brand spent **\$2,400** on TikTok ads in March, generating **120 appointment bookings**.

| Metric                | Value       | Calculation   |
| --------------------- | ----------- | ------------- |
| TikTok Spend          | \$2,400     | —             |
| TikTok Schedules      | 120         | —             |
| **Cost per Schedule** | **\$20.00** | \$2,400 ÷ 120 |

***

## How It Works

TikTok reports schedule events when users complete booking actions after interacting with your ads. This metric divides your total TikTok ad spend by the number of schedule events to show the average cost of acquiring each booking.
