ROAS Calculator

A high ROAS looks great, but profit is what pays the bills. This calculator shows your ROAS, the profit behind it, and the break-even ROAS you must exceed to actually make money.

How it works

ROAS is ad revenue divided by ad spend. Ad profit is (revenue × margin) minus spend. Break-even ROAS is 1 divided by your product margin — the minimum ROAS before an ad loses money.

Worked example

Example: Revenue €5,000, spend €1,000, margin 40% → ROAS 5x, profit €1,000, break-even 2.5x.

Recommendations

  • Track break-even ROAS, not just ROAS — many campaigns die below it.
  • Use your true contribution margin, including fulfillment and fixed costs.
  • Segment ROAS by campaign and product to find what really scales.

Tips & advice

  • A 5x ROAS with 25% margin still loses money if your break-even is 4x.
  • Double the ad budget only if ROAS holds — don't scale into unprofitable spend.
  • Account for returns and refunds in revenue before computing ROAS.

Next steps & suggestions

  • Verify the underlying profitability with the Profitability Calculator.
  • Price products correctly with the Sale Price Calculator.
  • Know the volume needed with the Break-even Calculator.
