Divide the number of impressions your campaign received by your Impression Share (expressed as a decimal): Available Impressions = Impressions ÷ (Impression Share ÷ 100).
How do I estimate how much extra budget I can spend in a search campaign?
Once you calculate Total Available Impressions, compare it to your current impressions. If you are at 50% Impression Share and losing the other 50% due to budget (Search Lost IS - Budget), you can roughly double your campaign budget at your current bid level before saturating the auction.
