How to use this calculator

Enter campaign cost, revenue, target ROAS, and total monthly sends. The calculator estimates current ROAS, revenue gap, and revenue per email sent.

What the result means

ROAS shows revenue efficiency, while ROI shows profit. Strong email ROAS means the campaign can justify more testing, automation, or list growth.

ROAS = Revenue / Campaign Cost; Revenue Needed = Campaign Cost × Target ROAS; Revenue per Send = Revenue / Monthly Sends

ROAS does not subtract product cost, so use Email ROI for full profitability analysis.

Example calculation

If an email campaign costs $800 and generates $5,600, ROAS is 7.0x. With 40,000 sends, revenue per send is $0.14.

Tips for better results

  • Improve purchase intent through list segmentation.
  • Use triggered emails for cart, browse, and lead follow-up.
  • Compare ROAS by campaign type, not only overall average.

FAQ

What is a good email marketing ROAS?

A good email ROAS depends on margins and campaign type, but higher ROAS usually indicates strong list quality and offer relevance.

How do I improve email ROAS?

Improve segmentation, personalize offers, optimize send timing, and use automation to increase revenue without raising campaign cost.

How much revenue do I need for a 5x ROAS?

Multiply your campaign cost by 5. For example, a $1,000 campaign needs $5,000 revenue to reach 5x ROAS.

Why is my email ROAS low?

Low email ROAS can come from weak offers, poor targeting, low deliverability, inactive subscribers, or a mismatch between content and buyer intent.

Is ROAS more useful than ROI for email marketing?

ROAS is useful for revenue efficiency, while ROI is better for profit because it includes cost and margin considerations.
