Your Complete ROAS Analysis in 4 Simple Steps.
Most ROAS calculators give you a percentage and nothing else. Ours goes further — diagnosing whether your campaigns are actually profitable, comparing your performance against real industry benchmarks, and showing you what the same budget should produce under professional management.
Select Your Business Model and Platform
Choose whether you run an ecommerce store, service business, local operation, B2B company, or SaaS product. Then select your ad platform — Google Ads, Meta, both, or other. If you run both platforms, we weight the benchmark calculation based on your budget split so the comparison is accurate.
Enter Your Campaign Numbers or Plan Your Budget
If you have existing campaign data, enter your spend, revenue or leads, margins, and deal values. If you are planning your first campaign and have no data yet, select the planning mode — we show you benchmark expectations for your business type at your target budget level so you know what to aim for before spending a dollar.
Tell Us Your Current Situation and Goals
We ask what is happening with your campaigns right now — whether you are underperforming, planning to scale, verifying an agency’s results, or managing ads yourself. This shapes whether you get a diagnostic, a scaling plan, or a performance rescue roadmap in your results.
Get Your Full ROAS Analysis Instantly
Your result screen shows your current ROAS versus industry benchmark, break-even ROAS target, the revenue gap between current and benchmark performance, a current versus professionally managed comparison, a customer lifetime value adjustment for service businesses, what to fix first, and which management tier fits your ad spend level. Everything on the page. Nothing gated.

What Is a Good ROAS?
5 Industry Benchmarks for 2025 by Platform.
A good ROAS depends on your business model, profit margins, and the platform you are advertising on. These benchmarks are drawn from Triple Whale’s analysis of 18,000+ brands, WebFX’s survey of 500 US marketers, and Directive’s 2025 B2B performance data. Use them as a reference point — not a guarantee. Your break-even ROAS always takes priority over any benchmark.
| Business Type | Google Ads Avg | Meta Ads Avg | What Good Looks Like |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ecommerce / Online Store | 4.5x | 3.5x | 6.0x+ |
| Service Business | 3.5x | 2.5x | 5.0x+ |
| Local Business | 3.64x | 2.5x | 5.0x+ |
| B2B / Corporate | 2.8x | 1.9x | 4.0x+ |
| SaaS / Subscription | 3.0x | 2.2x | 4.5x+ |
These are average benchmarks. Your break-even ROAS — calculated from your margin or deal value — is more important than any benchmark. Use the calculator above to find your specific break-even and compare it to your current performance.
⚠️ 2025 market shift: Average ROAS declined 10% across most industries in 2025 due to rising CPCs (+12.88%) and lower conversion rates (-9.28%). Meta CPMs increased 19.2% in Q1 2025. If your ROAS has held steady year-over-year that represents genuine performance improvement relative to the market. Source: Triple Whale 18,000+ brands, 2025.

About This Free ROAS Calculator
This free ROAS calculator is designed for business owners, marketing managers, and agencies who need more than a basic percentage output. Return on ad spend is one of the most important metrics in paid advertising — but calculating it correctly depends entirely on your business model, and interpreting it correctly depends on knowing what benchmark you should be hitting on your specific platform. Most online ROAS calculators provide neither of these things. They output a number with no context and no next step.
The break even roas calculator built into this tool uses the correct formula for your business type. For ecommerce businesses with physical products, break-even ROAS is calculated as one divided by your gross profit margin. A store with 40% gross margins needs a minimum ROAS of 2.5x just to cover the cost of goods before ad spend becomes profitable. For service businesses, lead generation companies, and local businesses, there is no COGS — the break-even calculation uses deal value, close rate, and cost per lead instead. These are fundamentally different formulas producing fundamentally different targets. Our calculator detects your business model and applies the correct formula automatically.
The ad budget calculator function within this tool works in both directions. If you have existing campaign data, you enter your current numbers and see how your performance compares to benchmarks. If you are planning your first campaign and have no data, the planning mode shows you realistic expectations for your business type at your target budget level. This is particularly useful for SMB owners evaluating whether paid advertising makes commercial sense for their specific deal values and margins before committing budget. The ppc budget calculator portion shows the recommended ad spend range alongside management fees so you see the total investment picture clearly.
For businesses running campaigns on both Google and Meta simultaneously, the google ads budget calculator benchmark and Meta benchmark are weighted based on your budget split. A business spending 70% of their budget on Google Ads receives a Google-weighted benchmark rather than a generic blended number. This matters because Google Search delivers an average ROAS of 5.17x for high-intent campaigns while Meta cold audiences average 2.19x — treating these as equivalent produces a benchmark that reflects neither platform accurately.
The facebook ads cost calculator function within this tool uses the same business-model-aware approach as the Google calculation. Meta advertising performs differently for ecommerce brands (average 3.5x ROAS) versus B2B companies (average 1.9x ROAS) versus local service businesses (average 2.5x). These differences reflect the intent level of each platform’s audience and the typical customer journey for each business model. Our calculator accounts for these differences in every benchmark comparison shown.
One critical gap that every other online ROAS calculator ignores is customer lifetime value. A law firm spending $1,500 to acquire a client who pays $3,000 for a single matter has a first-transaction ROAS of 2.0x — which looks marginal. If that client returns twice per year for three years, the LTV-adjusted ROAS is 6.0x — which is excellent. Our calculator includes an optional lifetime value adjustment for service businesses and B2B companies so you see both numbers clearly.
This is the difference between a campaign that looks unprofitable and one that is actually a strong long-term investment. The ad spend calculator result becomes significantly more actionable when LTV is factored in for retention businesses. Understanding the full roas formula — not just the basic revenue divided by spend calculation — is what separates businesses that scale profitably from those that keep increasing budgets without improving results.
The agency performance check built into this calculator is particularly useful for business owners who are currently paying an agency and want an independent verification of whether the results justify the fee. When you select agency-managed as your current status, the calculator compares your reported ROAS against the industry benchmark for your business type and platform and delivers a green, amber, or red verdict with a specific explanation. From there, you can book a free PPC audit to get a detailed independent review of exactly what is underperforming and why.

What is ROAS and how does this calculator work?
ROAS stands for return on ad spend. It measures how much revenue you generate for every dollar spent on advertising.
A ROAS of 4x means you earn $4 in revenue for every $1 spent on ads. Our ROAS calculator goes beyond the basic formula — it shows your current ROAS versus industry benchmark for your specific business type and platform, calculates your break-even ROAS using the correct formula for your business model, compares current performance against what a professionally managed campaign should deliver, and provides a specific diagnosis of what to fix first. The result appears instantly on the page with no email required.
How do I calculate my break-even ROAS?
Break-even ROAS is the minimum return on ad spend you need to avoid losing money. The formula depends on your business model. For ecommerce businesses with physical products, break-even ROAS equals one divided by your gross profit margin. If your gross margin is 40%, your break-even ROAS is 2.5x — meaning you need $2.50 in revenue for every $1 of ad spend just to cover product costs.
For service businesses and lead generation companies, break-even ROAS equals your average deal value multiplied by your close rate, divided by your target cost per lead. Our break even ROAS calculator applies the correct formula automatically based on your business model selection.
What is a good ROAS for my business in 2026?
A good ROAS depends on your profit margins, business model, and the platform you are advertising on. For ecommerce businesses, the industry average is 4.5x on Google Ads and 3.5x on Meta. For service businesses the average is 3.5x on Google and 2.5x on Meta. For B2B companies the average is 2.8x on Google and 1.9x on Meta. However, these averages are less important than your own break-even ROAS. A business with 20% gross margins needs a much higher ROAS than a business with 60% margins just to stay profitable.
Use the calculator above to find your specific break-even before comparing against any benchmark. In 2025, average ROAS declined 10% across most industries due to rising CPCs and lower conversion rates — so if your performance has held steady, that already represents meaningful improvement relative to the market.
How much should I spend on Google Ads or Meta Ads?
The right ad budget depends on your deal value, close rate, and target cost per lead or customer acquisition cost. For a service business with a $2,000 average deal and a 20% close rate, your break-even cost per lead is $400. If you want 10 new customers per month from ads, you need at minimum 50 leads, which at $400 CPL requires a $20,000 monthly ad budget. Most SMBs starting with paid advertising should begin with $1,000 to $3,000 per month to gather enough data before scaling.
Use our ppc budget calculator above — enter your deal value and targets and the planning mode shows you the expected leads, CPL, and revenue at any budget level so you can make a data-backed decision before committing.
How does Google Ads pricing work and what budget do I need?
Google Ads operates on a cost per click model where you pay each time someone clicks your ad. The actual cost depends on your industry, competition, and targeting. Average CPCs range from $0.50 for low-competition local searches to $50 or more for competitive finance, legal, and insurance keywords. For most SMBs, a minimum Google Ads budget of $1,000 per month gives you enough data to optimise. Our google ads budget calculator function within this tool shows you the expected leads and revenue at your budget level based on real benchmarks for your business type.
For managed Google Ads campaigns, BK Web Designs charges from $1,000 per month in management fees with a recommended ad spend of $2,000 to $5,000 per month for the starter tier.
How much do Facebook and Instagram ads cost?
Facebook and Instagram ad costs are measured in CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) and CPC (cost per click). In Q1 2025, Meta CPMs averaged $10.88 — up 19.2% year over year. The average CPC across all industries on Meta runs $0.50 to $3.50 depending on your audience, creative quality, and targeting. For ecommerce brands, Meta retargeting campaigns typically deliver 3.61x ROAS versus 2.19x for cold audience campaigns. For service businesses the typical cost per lead on Meta runs $30 to $150 depending on industry and funnel quality.
Our facebook ads cost calculator within this tool uses real 2025 benchmark data to show you what your Meta campaigns should be delivering based on your business model, current spend, and performance data.
What is the ROAS formula and how do I use it?
The basic ROAS formula is: ROAS equals total revenue from ads divided by total ad spend. If you spent $5,000 on Google Ads and generated $20,000 in revenue, your ROAS is 4x. However, revenue alone does not tell you whether campaigns are profitable. The more important formula is break-even ROAS, which accounts for your profit margins. For ecommerce: break-even ROAS equals one divided by gross margin. For service businesses: break-even ROAS equals deal value multiplied by close rate divided by cost per lead.
Our ad spend calculator uses both formulas to show you not just what your ROAS is, but whether it is high enough to actually make money at your margin level — something the basic formula never reveals.
