ROAS Calculator
Calculate ROAS as a ratio and percent, solve for revenue or ad budget at a target ROAS, find break-even ROAS by gross margin, and compare channels.
Calculator mode
Enter ad spend and revenue attributed to ads. The calculator returns ROAS as a ratio (4:1) and as a percent (400%), plus ad ROI, gross profit, and break-even ROAS when a gross margin is set.
Total amount paid to ad platforms for this campaign or period: media cost, plus agency fees if you attribute them here.
Gross revenue your attribution model assigns to the campaign. Use the same window your finance team reports on (last-click, data-driven, MMM).
Gross margin is revenue minus cost of goods sold, divided by revenue. A 50% margin means each unit of revenue produces 0.50 of contribution. Set this to derive break-even ROAS and to see whether the campaign earns its keep after COGS.

Channel comparison
Add a row for each channel (Google, Meta, TikTok, Affiliate, Email, Influencer, etc.). The table ranks them by ROAS and shows each channel's share of total revenue and a blended ROAS across the whole portfolio.
| Rank | Channel | Ad spend (USD) | Revenue (USD) | ROAS | ROAS % | Revenue share | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1best | 4.4:1 | 440% | 55% | ||||
| #2 | 3:1 | 300% | 30% | ||||
| #3 | 2.4:1 | 240% | 15% | ||||
| Total | Blended portfolio | $11,500.00 | $40,000.00 | 3.48:1 | 347.83% | 100% |
ROAS vs ad ROI vs break-even
ROAS reports gross revenue per unit of ad spend and is best for comparing campaigns or channels at a glance. Ad ROI subtracts the ad spend from the revenue first, so it is always 100 percentage points lower than ROAS expressed as a percent. Break-even ROAS is the smallest ROAS that still pays for both the product cost (COGS) and the ad spend; below that line you sell more units, but the extra revenue does not cover what it costs to acquire it.
ROAS
ROAS = revenue / ad spend
Often shown as a ratio (4:1), a multiple (4x), or a percent (400%). Same number, three formats.
Ad ROI
Ad ROI = (revenue - ad spend) / ad spend x 100
A 4:1 ROAS equals a 300% ad ROI. A 1:1 ROAS equals a 0% ad ROI: you got your money back but no more.
Break-even ROAS
Break-even ROAS = 100 / gross margin %
At a 50% gross margin you need 2:1 ROAS just to break even. At 25% you need 4:1. At 80% you only need 1.25:1.
Quick reference: ROAS does not include product cost, returns, refunds, or fixed costs, and it depends entirely on your attribution model. Treat platform-reported ROAS as a leading signal, not a P and L line.
How to use
- Pick a mode: Solve for ROAS for a finished campaign, Solve for revenue or Solve for ad budget when you have a target ROAS, or Break-even ROAS to find the floor at your margin.
- Enter the visible fields. For target ROAS, type a ratio (4 means 4:1, not 400). Use the quick chips for common targets and margins.
- Optional but recommended: set your gross margin percent. The result panel then adds implied COGS, gross profit, contribution after ad spend, the break-even ROAS for that margin, and a verdict against it.
- Pick a display currency. Formatting only; no exchange rates are fetched.
- Use the channel comparison table to add Google, Meta, TikTok, Affiliate, Email, and other rows. The table ranks by ROAS, shows each channel's revenue share, and gives a blended ROAS across the portfolio.
- Copy the summary, an individual row, or the channel table as TSV using the Copy buttons; the formatted output pastes cleanly into Google Sheets, Excel, Slack, or Notion.
About this tool
ROAS Calculator computes return on ad spend in your browser using the four framings marketers and ecommerce operators actually use day to day. In Solve for ROAS mode, enter ad spend and revenue attributed to the campaign. The tool reports ROAS as a ratio (4:1), as a multiple (4x), and as a percent (400%) at the same time, so you can paste whichever format the platform or stakeholder expects. It also derives ad ROI, which is ROAS minus 100 percentage points and the figure finance teams usually compare against. In Solve for revenue mode, enter ad spend plus the target ROAS you need to hit; the tool returns the gross revenue the campaign must generate to clear the target, plus the gross profit if you also set a margin. In Solve for ad budget mode, enter expected revenue and a target ROAS to get the maximum ad budget the target permits. In Break-even ROAS mode, enter your gross margin percent (revenue minus COGS as a share of revenue); the tool returns 100 divided by that margin, the ROAS where every extra dollar of ad spend is matched by a dollar of gross profit. Optional gross margin input is shared across the first three modes too: when set, every result includes implied COGS, gross profit, contribution after ad spend, and a green or red verdict against the break-even ROAS so you immediately know whether the campaign earns its keep after product cost. A second panel adds a multi-channel comparison table. Add a row for Google Search, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Affiliate, Email, Influencer, or any custom channel, and the tool ranks rows by ROAS, shows each channel's revenue share, and reports a blended portfolio ROAS at the bottom; copy the table out as tab-separated values for a spreadsheet or weekly review. Eight currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, INR, TRY) format every number through Intl.NumberFormat with the right symbol and decimal rules; no FX rates are fetched. A reference card explains how ROAS, ad ROI, and break-even ROAS relate, and a quick note flags that ROAS does not include returns, refunds, fixed costs, or fees and depends entirely on your attribution window. Useful for performance marketers writing weekly recaps, ecommerce operators sizing media budgets against margin, agencies setting tROAS bids on Google Ads and Meta Advantage+ campaigns, growth teams comparing channels by efficiency, and founders deciding whether a 3:1 ROAS is good enough at their gross margin. Everything runs locally; budgets, revenue figures, and channel data stay on your device.
