How the math works

ROAS without context is meaningless. A 3x is great at 50% margin and a death sentence at 15%. This calculator gives you three numbers: breakeven (zero profit), target for 20% margin, and target for 30% margin.

  1. 01

    Build cost per order

    Sum COGS, shipping, payment fees, and fulfillment for one order. That's the variable-cost floor every order needs to clear.

  2. 02

    Calculate contribution

    AOV minus cost per order = contribution margin. What's left of an order to cover ads and produce profit. The smaller it is, the higher your required ROAS.

  3. 03

    Solve for ad spend

    Breakeven ROAS = AOV ÷ contribution. Target ROAS for an X% net margin = AOV ÷ (contribution − AOV × X%). Maximum CPA = contribution.
