READ THE RESULT

What the number means

ROAS equals attributed revenue divided by ad spend. A 4.0× ROAS means every $1 of media spend generated $4 in attributed revenue.

Revenue is not profit. If your gross margin is 25%, your break-even ROAS is 4.0× before overhead, returns and payment fees. Attribution settings also change the reported revenue, so compare campaigns using the same window and model.

QUESTIONS

Before you rely on the output

What is a good ROAS?+

There is no universal target. Your break-even point depends on gross margin, fulfilment costs, overhead and the share of sales that would have happened without advertising.

How is break-even ROAS calculated?+

The simplified formula is 1 divided by gross margin expressed as a decimal. At a 40% margin, break-even ROAS is 1 / 0.40 = 2.5× before other variable costs.
