Calculator guide
Calculate return on advertising spend and advertising profit. Use the explicitly labelled inputs below; rates, dimensions, and costs are assumptions, not live quotes.
Formula or method
ROAS = attributed revenue ÷ advertising spend. ROAS percentage = ratio × 100; revenue less ad spend is not net business profit.
How to use this calculator
- Set Attributed Revenue ($). The interface starts with 25000; replace it with the value for your scenario.
- Set Ad Spend ($). The interface starts with 5000; replace it with the value for your scenario.
- Compare the result with the worked example, then vary one assumption at a time so you can see what changes.
Worked example
Enter Attributed Revenue = 25000 $; Ad Spend = 5000 $. With those assumptions, the calculator gives Return on Ad Spend: 5×; ROAS Percentage: 500%; Revenue Less Ad Spend: $20,000.00. These outputs are calculated from the same implementation as the interactive tool.
Understanding the result
In this example, Return on Ad Spend is 5×. ROAS Percentage is 500%. Estimates exclude charges and rules not represented by the inputs. Rates and prices are assumptions; results are not a quote or guaranteed return.
Limitations and assumptions
- Estimates exclude charges and rules not represented by the inputs. Rates and prices are assumptions; results are not a quote or guaranteed return.
- The worked example demonstrates the stated assumptions, not a recommendation about your personal circumstances.
