A ROAS of 4 means you sold $4 for every $1 spent. But if your gross margin is 25%, you need a ROAS of at least 4 just to break even: that is thebreak-even ROAS(1 ÷ margin).

When to use this tool

  • When reviewing your campaign results on Meta, Google or TikTok.
  • To know how much you can pay per order without losing money.
  • Before increasing a campaign's budget.
  • To compare campaigns or products with different margins.

How to calculate ROAS

  1. 1Enter how much you spent on ads in the period.
  2. 2Enter the sales attributed to those ads (before VAT) and how many orders there were.
  3. 3Enter your average gross margin: price minus product cost, shipping and payment gateway.
  4. 4Compare your ROAS with the break-even ROAS.

Know which channel each order comes from

ROAS is only reliable if you know which orders came from ads. In Katuq each order keeps its source channel (WhatsApp, Instagram, web, Shopify or WooCommerce), so you compare what you spent with what was actually sold and shipped.
