Google analytics is a good tool used to track and calculate the conversions of your website. According to reports a good conversion rate starts from 2% and can reach up to 12%.

No. of Goal Completions/ Total no of Visitors = Your Conversion Rate

Outcomes / Unique Visitors = Conversion Rate

Unique visitors/conversions(leads) X 100 = Conversion Rate%

Visits /conversions(leads) X 100 = Conversion Rate%

For calculating website conversion rate, you might have to calculate lead conversion rate.

In Lead generation:- 

Number of leads collected ∕ total traffic to site x 100 = conversion rate
