The formulas

  • Contribution per order = order value − product cost − other variable costs
  • Breakeven ROAS = order value ÷ contribution per order
  • Target ROAS = order value ÷ (contribution per order − target profit per order)

How to read the result

Below the breakeven ROAS, every order your ads win costs you money. Above it, each order adds profit. If the result shows a dash, your costs are as high as your order value, so no ROAS can break even.

Include expected returns in the variable cost field, because refunded orders still cost you shipping and fees.
