How to use this calculator

  • Enter revenue generated by the campaign.
  • Enter advertising spend.
  • Add content, agency, and influencer costs.
  • Compare ROI, ROAS, and net profit to decide whether to scale or reduce spend.

What the result means

ROI shows total campaign profitability after costs. ROAS focuses on ad spend efficiency, while net profit shows the actual financial outcome after all major campaign costs.

Total Cost = Ad Spend + Content Cost + Agency Cost + Influencer Cost. ROI = (Revenue − Total Cost) ÷ Total Cost × 100. ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad Spend.

Use tracked revenue when possible. If revenue attribution is incomplete, treat the result as an estimate rather than final campaign accounting.

Example calculation

If campaign revenue is $50,000 and total cost is $15,000, net profit is $35,000 and ROI is 233.3%.

Tips for better results

  • Separate platform ROI instead of using one blended number.
  • Improve landing page conversion before scaling spend.
  • Track assisted conversions and repeat purchases.
  • Reallocate budget from weak channels to profitable campaigns.

FAQ

How do I calculate social media ROI correctly?

Add all campaign costs, subtract them from campaign revenue, then divide the profit by total cost. Include ad spend, production, agency, and influencer expenses.

What is considered a good ROI for Facebook and Instagram ads?

Many marketers view 150% to 300% as good and 300%+ as excellent, but the target depends on margins, attribution, and customer lifetime value.

How does ROAS differ from ROI in social media marketing?

ROAS compares revenue to ad spend only, while ROI compares profit to total campaign cost, including creative, agency, and influencer expenses.

Which social media platform delivers the highest ROI?

The best platform depends on product, audience, creative fit, funnel, and attribution. Compare ROI by platform instead of relying on general averages.

How can I improve social media ROI without increasing budget?

Improve conversion rate, reduce CPA, increase average order value, reuse high-performing creatives, and shift budget toward the best-performing audiences.
