Summary: Ad spend is $5,000.00, gross revenue is $17,100.00, and net contribution after COGS is $5,260.00.
Summary: Spending $5,000.00 generated 250,000 impressions ($20.00 CPM), 4,500 clicks (1.8% CTR at $1.11 CPC), and 180 orders (4% CVR at $27.78 CPA). Gross revenue is $17,100.00 (3.42× ROAS), yielding $5,260.00 net profit after 40% COGS and ad spend.

Formula & Mathematical Methodology: Full-Funnel Performance Marketing Identities

CPM = Spend × 1000Impressions,   CPC = SpendClicks,   ROAS = RevenueSpend,   ROASbreak-even = 11 − COGS%
CPM = (Spend / Impr) × 1000; CTR = Clicks / Impr; CPC = Spend / Clicks; CPA = Spend / Conv; ROAS = Revenue / Spend; Break-Even ROAS = 1 / (1 − COGS%)
  • ROAS: Gross attributed revenue divided by ad spend
  • Break-Even ROAS: Minimum ROAS required so gross margin covers ad spend

Rounding: Currency metrics round to 2 decimal places; ratios round to 2 decimal places.

Worked Example: $5,000 Spend, 250,000 Impressions, 4,500 Clicks, 180 Orders at $95 AOV (40% COGS)

Evaluate a paid social/search campaign spending $5,000.

  1. CPM = ($5,000 ÷ 250,000) × 1,000 = $20.00; CTR = 1.80%; CPC = $1.11.
  2. Conversion Rate = 180 ÷ 4,500 = 4.00%; CPA = $5,000 ÷ 180 = $27.78.
  3. Gross Revenue = 180 × $95 = $17,100 → ROAS = 3.42× (342%).
  4. Gross Profit before ads = $17,100 × 0.60 = $10,260; Net Profit after ads = $10,260 − $5,000 = $5,260.
Result: 3.42× ROAS, $27.78 CPA, $5,260 net profit, and 1.67× break-even ROAS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can a 2.5× ROAS campaign still lose money?

Because ROAS measures top-line revenue, not profit. If your COGS is 65% (35% gross margin), your break-even ROAS is 1 ÷ 0.35 = 2.86×, meaning any ROAS below 2.86× loses money on the first order.

How to Use the Marketing ROAS, CPC, CPM, CPA & CTR Calculator: Practical Guide & Visual Analysis

Connect upper-funnel ad delivery (impressions and clicks) to lower-funnel unit economics (orders, AOV, COGS %, break-even ROAS, and net profit) in one diagnostic view. Whether you are researching roas calculator, return on ad spend, cpc calculator, cpm calculator, cpa calculator, this interactive tool helps you calculate Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), Cost Per Click (CPC), Cost Per Mille (CPM), Click-Through Rate (CTR), Conversion Rate (CVR), CPA, and net contribution profit.

Interpreting the 3 Custom Visual Graphs & Key Outputs

As you adjust Total Campaign Ad Spend, Total Ad Impressions, Total Link Clicks, Attributed Conversions / Orders, the calculator immediately computes ROAS Multiple & Percentage, Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), CPC, CPM, CTR & CVR, Net Profit After COGS & Ad Spend, Break-Even ROAS Threshold and updates all three domain-specific SVG charts in real time. Instead of relying on a single static figure, you can inspect the primary domain diagram, component breakdown, and multi-point trajectory curve to see how changing your inputs shifts the final result. Use the Compare (up to 3 scenarios) button to evaluate side-by-side variations before making a decision.
