For this same-scope calculator model, no. Google may occasionally show temporary reporting anomalies, but the planning calculation requires clicks not to exceed impressions.
Compare the result with a similar campaign or segment using the same network, intent and reporting scope. The calculator does not apply one universal good-CTR threshold.
