How This Calculator Works

Use this roas tool for quick estimation, comparison, and planning intent while keeping formula assumptions visible.

Use the ROAS calculator to understand how much revenue a campaign generates for each dollar of ad spend.

ROAS divides attributed revenue by ad spend. It does not include product costs, refunds, labor, or overhead.

Formula

ROAS = attributed revenue / ad spend.

Example Calculation

$12,000 revenue from $3,000 ad spend equals 4.0x ROAS.
