Frequently Asked Questions
How is Break-Even ROAS calculated?
Break-Even ROAS = 1 ÷ Pre-Ad Contribution Margin. For example, if your contribution profit is $26 on a $65 AOV (40% margin), you break even at 1 ÷ 0.40 = 2.50x ROAS.
Does ROAS above Break-Even guarantee overall business profit?
Exceeding Break-Even ROAS ensures positive variable contribution per order after ad spend, which still needs to cover fixed monthly overhead such as salaries or software.
