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.
