1. What is ROAS?

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) is a marketing metric that measures the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. It shows how much revenue is earned for every dollar spent on advertising.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ROAS equation:

Where:

• Sales from Ads — Total revenue generated from advertising (USD)
• Cost of Ads — Total amount spent on advertising (USD)

Explanation: ROAS is expressed as a ratio. For example, a ROAS of 5 means $5 in revenue for every $1 spent on ads.

3. Importance of ROAS Calculation

Details: ROAS helps marketers evaluate which campaigns are most effective, optimize advertising budgets, and determine the profitability of marketing efforts.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total sales generated from ads and the total cost of ads in USD. Both values must be positive numbers, and cost must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
