Your Details

Overview

Use this Social Media ROAS Calculator to estimate how effectively your social media advertising is turning spend into revenue. Enter your ad spend, attributed revenue, optional campaign costs, clicks and conversions to review ROAS, profit and efficiency metrics.

How it works

The calculator compares attributed revenue with ad spend to calculate ROAS. A ROAS of 4 means you generated 4 units of revenue for every 1 unit spent on ads. It also adds any extra campaign costs to estimate net profit, and uses clicks and conversions to work out cost per click and cost per acquisition. The results are only as reliable as the attribution and campaign data you enter.

  2. 2Add the revenue attributed to that campaign over the same period.
  3. 3Include any additional campaign costs if you want a fuller profitability estimate.

Frequently asked questions

What does this Social Media ROAS Calculator estimate?

It estimates your return on ad spend by dividing attributed revenue by ad spend, and also shows supporting metrics such as net profit, CPC and CPA.

What is a good ROAS for social media ads?

A good ROAS depends on your margins, business model and goals. Some campaigns can be worthwhile at lower ROAS if repeat purchases or lifetime value are strong.

What is the difference between ROAS and ROI?

ROAS looks specifically at revenue generated from ad spend, while ROI usually compares profit with total investment or total costs.

Should I include agency or creative costs?

If you want a broader profitability view, include them in other campaign costs. If you only want pure ad efficiency, focus on ad spend and revenue.

Why can my ROAS change across platforms or reports?

Different platforms may use different attribution windows, tracking methods and conversion models, which can lead to different revenue totals and ROAS figures.

Can I use this calculator for lead generation campaigns?

Yes. You can use lead value or estimated revenue attributed to leads instead of direct ecommerce revenue, as long as you stay consistent with your inputs.
