What Is ROAS Calculator?
The ROAS Calculator measures the revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. A ROAS of 4x means you earn $4 for every $1 spent on ads. The tool provides: the return multiplier (4x), percentage return (400%), net profit, profit margin, and a performance rating (Excellent 5x+, Good 3-5x, Average 2-3x, Break Even 1-2x, Poor <1x). This metric is the primary measure for evaluating paid advertising profitability. Most businesses need a minimum 3x return to be profitable after accounting for product costs, operational expenses, and overhead.

Technical Guide
ROAS = Total Revenue / Total Ad Spend. Unlike ROI which considers all business costs, this metric specifically measures the direct revenue from advertising investment. Benchmarks vary by industry and business model: e-commerce average is 4x, SaaS can be 3-10x (due to LTV), B2B services often target 5x+. A ratio of 1x means you're breaking even on ad spend alone (but losing money when considering COGS and overhead). The formula doesn't account for customer lifetime value — a 2x return on customer acquisition may be profitable if customers make repeat purchases.
