Behind the numbers

Know what goes into your result.

Actual ROAS = attributed revenue ÷ ad spend. A 2× return means two dollars in revenue for each dollar spent on ads.

Break-even revenue = (ad spend + campaign fees) ÷ gross-margin fraction. Break-even ROAS = break-even revenue ÷ ad spend.

Gross margin is the share of revenue left after delivering the product or service, before advertising. Use revenue, costs and ads from the same period and customer group.

The remainder excludes overhead, taxes and any other costs you have not included. Zero ad spend has no ROAS; zero margin has no revenue-based break-even target.
