What is ROAS?

Return on ad spend — revenue generated per dollar of ad spend.

ROAS (return on ad spend) = revenue ÷ ad spend. A 3x ROAS means $3 back for every $1 spent. On its own it's incomplete — what matters is whether your ROAS beats your break-even ROAS, which equals 1 ÷ gross margin.

Use the free ROAS & break-even calculator to find your threshold, then sort Analytics by ROAS to scale the ads that clear it.
