How to use it

ROAS is a signal, not the whole answer

A ROAS number is useful when it is connected to the business model. A 3x return can be excellent for one margin profile and weak for another. The calculator gives you the math quickly, while AdBid connects that number to campaign structure, creative testing, revenue windows, and LTV expectations.

ROAS Formula

ROAS = Revenue / Ad Spend

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) measures the revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. A ROAS of 4x means you earn $4 for every $1 spent on ads.

Example: If you spend $1,000 on ads and generate $4,000 in revenue, your ROAS is 4x (or 400%).

ROAS, or return on ad spend, measures revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. A 4x ROAS means $4 in revenue for each $1 of ad spend.

How do you calculate ROAS?

Divide revenue by ad spend. If you spend $1,000 and generate $4,000 in revenue, ROAS is 4x.
