What is funnel drop-off?
Drop-off is the share of people who reach one step but never reach the next. A checkout that goes from 900 starts to 480 purchases has a 46.7% drop-off on that step — 420 people who wanted to buy and did not.

Step conversion compares a step to the one immediately before it, so it isolates that single transition. Cumulative conversion compares every step back to the first one, so it shows how the losses compound. A funnel of five steps that each convert at 80% still ends at 41%.
Usually the step that loses the most people in absolute terms, which is what this calculator highlights — a 20% leak early in a big funnel costs more than a 60% leak at the very end. Fix that one first, then re-measure before touching anything else.
