Formula

ROAS = revenue from ads ÷ ad spend, shown as a multiple (e.g. 4×) and a percentage. Ad ROI = (revenue − spend) ÷ spend, which nets out the cost.

How it works

A 4× ROAS means $4 of revenue per $1 spent — but ROAS is revenue, not profit. Once you factor in product costs and margins, the break-even ROAS is higher than 1×, so know your margins before celebrating.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good ROAS?

It depends on margins. A common rule of thumb is 4:1, but a high-margin product can thrive on lower ROAS while a thin-margin one needs more. Compare it to your break-even ROAS.

What's the difference between ROAS and ROI?

ROAS compares revenue to ad spend. ROI (or ROAS's net cousin) subtracts the spend first, showing profit relative to cost — a 4× ROAS is a 300% ad ROI.

Does ROAS include product costs?

No. ROAS only weighs revenue against ad spend. For a true profit view, also subtract cost of goods and other variable costs.

Sources & methodology

Revenue ÷ ad spend. ROAS is a revenue ratio, not profit — factor in margins for true profitability.
