What is ROAS? (Return on Ad Spend Explained)
ROAS stands for Return On Ad Spend and measures how much revenue your business earns for each dollar spent on advertising. It's the key metric for evaluating ad campaign performance and profitability.
Simply put, CPM is a pricing model used in advertising where you pay for 1,000 impressions of your ad. An impression is counted every time your ad is shown to someone, whether they click on it or not.
If you’re wondering how to calculate ROAS, let’s check these examples:
If you spent $1,000 on Facebook ads and generated $5,000 in revenue, your ROAS is 5:1 (or 5x).
If your Google Ads campaign cost $500 and brought in $2,000 in sales, your ROAS is 4:1 (or 4x).
Whether you're running PPC campaigns, social media ads, or display marketing, knowing your ROAS helps you determine which channels deserve more of your marketing budget.
But remember, ROAS is not the same as ROI (Return on Investment). ROI is a more accurate representation of business profitability. Track actual impact of your social media marketing efforts with our Social Media ROI calculator here.

Marketing Strategy?
Knowing your return on ad spend changes the game when it comes to making smart marketing decisions. Here's what your ROAS numbers are really telling you:
Campaign Scaling
Campaigns with strong ROAS (5x or higher) indicate opportunities to increase spend while maintaining profitability.
Creative Development
When ROAS falls below targets, it signals the need for fresh ad creative or improved targeting rather than abandoning the channel altogether.
Pricing Strategy
Low ROAS might indicate your product pricing doesn't support current acquisition costs, requiring either price increases or margin improvements.

FAQ (frequently asked questions)
What is a ROAS Calculator?
A ROAS calculator is a tool for advertisers that determines how effectively your ad spend generates revenue. It calculates the exact return you're getting for every dollar invested in digital advertising, helping you optimize campaigns for profitability.
Why Use a ROAS Calculator?
Using a ROAS calculator provides clear visibility into campaign performance beyond basic metrics like clicks or impressions. It helps you identify your most profitable keywords, ad creatives, and audience segments while eliminating underperforming campaigns that drain your marketing budget.
What's considered a good ROAS?
Industry benchmarks vary significantly. E-commerce businesses typically target a 4:1 ROAS ($4 revenue for every $1 spent), while industries with higher profit margins like software might accept 3:1. Luxury goods or high-value services often target 6:1 or higher due to their substantial profit margins.
How is ROAS different from ROI?
ROAS specifically measures ad revenue against ad spend, while ROI (Return On Investment) incorporates all business costs including product expenses, overhead, and operations. ROAS focuses purely on advertising effectiveness, while ROI measures overall business profitability.
How often should I measure ROAS?
For most businesses, weekly ROAS calculations provide sufficient data for optimization without reacting to daily fluctuations. However, during launch periods or high-budget campaigns, daily monitoring is recommended to quickly identify and correct underperforming ads.
Does ROAS account for customer lifetime value?
Standard ROAS calculations only measure immediate revenue from an advertising campaign. For subscription businesses or companies with high repeat purchase rates, consider adjusting your ROAS targets to account for customer lifetime value (LTV).
How to calculate ROAS?
For ROAS calculation, divide your total ad revenue by your total ad spend. For example, if your campaign generated $10,000 in revenue and cost $2,000 to run, your ROAS would be: $10,000 ÷ $2,000 = 5, or 5:1. Our calculator does this calculation automatically when you enter your revenue and ad spend.
Which advertising platforms typically deliver the highest ROAS?
This varies by industry and business model, but generally, search advertising (Google Ads, Bing Ads) often delivers higher ROAS for businesses targeting users with high purchase intent. Remarketing campaigns across all platforms typically show strong ROAS due to targeting users already familiar with your brand.
