How to use this calculator

Enter ad spend, revenue, target ROAS, and profit margin. The calculator shows current ROAS, revenue gap, and whether the target is profitable.

What the result means

The result shows how efficiently Meta Ads convert spend into revenue and how far the campaign is from the target ROAS.

ROAS = revenue / ad spend; revenue gap = target ROAS × spend − actual revenue; profit estimate = revenue × margin − spend.

ROAS should be judged against gross margin and customer lifetime value, not as an isolated number.

Example calculation

With $2,500 spend and $11,000 revenue, ROAS is 4.4x. Against a 4x target, the campaign is above target.

Tips for better results

  • Raise AOV to improve ROAS without reducing volume.
  • Watch CPM and CPA when ROAS starts dropping.
  • Segment retargeting and prospecting campaigns separately.

FAQ

What is a good ROAS for Meta Ads?

A good Meta Ads ROAS depends on your margin and customer lifetime value. A 4x ROAS may be strong for one store and unprofitable for another.

How do I calculate Facebook Ads ROAS?

Divide revenue generated from Meta Ads by ad spend. For example, $5,000 revenue from $1,000 spend equals 5x ROAS.

Why is my Meta Ads ROAS dropping?

ROAS can drop because of audience fatigue, rising CPM, weak creative, poor targeting, low conversion rate, or a mismatch between offer and audience.

How much revenue do I need for target ROAS?

Revenue needed equals ad spend multiplied by your target ROAS. The calculator shows the revenue gap between actual and target performance.

Should I optimize Meta Ads for ROAS or CPA?

Use ROAS when revenue and order value matter most. Use CPA when the campaign is focused on leads, trials, signups, or fixed acquisition costs.
