How break-even ROAS is calculated

Break-even ROAS tells you how much revenue your ads need to generate for every £1 spent before profit becomes zero.

It is useful for ecommerce budgeting because it gives you a hard performance floor before you scale ad spend.

Example

Example use case

If your product sells for £50 and all non-ad costs total £30, only £20 remains to cover advertising. The calculator uses that contribution to estimate the break-even ROAS threshold.

Frequently asked questions

What does break-even ROAS mean?

It means the point where revenue covers product, fulfilment, platform and ad costs but does not yet create profit.

Why is this useful?

It helps you judge whether a campaign target is realistic before you spend more on ads.

Should I aim exactly for break-even?

Usually no. Most businesses want a margin above break-even to cover risk, overhead and growth.
