What this calculator does

ROAS measures attributed revenue divided by advertising spend. It is deliberately narrower than profit or ROI: a campaign can have a strong ROAS while still being unprofitable after product cost, agency fees, fulfillment or other expenses.

What to know before you use the result

ROAS = attributed revenue ÷ ad spend.
A 5× ROAS means $5 of attributed revenue for each $1 of ad spend.
ROAS is not a profit margin and does not automatically include non-advertising costs.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using total company revenue instead of revenue attributed to the ads being measured.
Calling ROAS profit without accounting for product and operating costs.
Comparing campaigns that use different attribution windows or models.

Quick answers

About the roas calculation.

What does 4× ROAS mean?

It means the attributed revenue is four times the advertising spend.

Is a higher ROAS always better?

Not necessarily. Growth goals, gross margin, repeat purchases and attribution quality can change what a useful target looks like.

Is ROAS the same as ROI?

No. ROAS uses ad-attributed revenue divided by ad spend. ROI is generally based on net gain relative to investment.

Should agency fees be included?

The standard formula uses ad spend, but you can broaden the cost input if your internal definition of campaign spend includes other direct acquisition costs.
