Max CPA (break-even)

Profitable — your 3.50x ROAS beats break-even of 1.67x.

What is break-even ROAS?

Your break-even ROAS is the return on ad spend you need just to cover costs — and it's set entirely by your margin: break-even ROAS = 1 ÷ gross margin. A 60% margin means you break even at about 1.67x; a 40% margin means you need 2.5x just to stay flat. Every dollar of ROAS above that line is profit.

The matching ceiling on the buying side is your max CPA — the most you can pay per purchase before a sale stops being profitable. It equals your average order value times your margin.
