Як рахувати ROAS — формула?

ROAS = Дохід ÷ Витрати на рекламу. Виражається множником (5×) або відсотком (500% = 5×). Дохід — повна сума замовлень; витрати — фактичний spend в рекламному акаунті.

Що означає ROAS 2,5?

ROAS 2,5 = 250%. На кожну гривню витрат — 2,50 грн доходу. Для більшості UA e-commerce низький бенчмарк (UPLIFY median 9,88×). При маржі 40% break-even = 2,5× — нуль; при 30% — 3,33×, тобто 2,5× = збиток.

Чи 800% ROAS — це добре?

800% = 8× — добре, нижче UPLIFY медіани (9,88×) але в межах норми. Для високомаржинальних товарів — нормально; для низькомаржинальних — топ-рівень.

Чи 6× ROAS добре для e-commerce?

ROAS 6× = 600% — здоровий рівень. Дещо нижче UPLIFY median 9,88×, стабільно прибутковий для маржі 25%+. Простір росту через audience signals + brand exclusion.

Що таке break-even ROAS?

Мінімальний ROAS, нижче якого реклама в збиток. Формула: 100% ÷ Маржа%. При маржі 30% break-even = 3,33×. Головний KPI для tROAS у Smart Bidding — ставте на 10-20% вище break-even.

Чому Google Ads показує інший ROAS ніж GA4?

Різні моделі атрибуції (Google Ads last-click vs GA4 data-driven), iOS ATT блокує client-side tracking, різні conversion windows. Довіряйте Google Ads для in-channel optimization, GA4 — для cross-channel attribution.

ROAS Calculator: measure return on ad spend + break-even threshold

Enter revenue and ad spend — get ROAS as a multiplier (1.5× / 5× / 12×) and percentage (150% / 500% / 1200%) + comparison against UPLIFY benchmark (9.88× median across 41 UA e-commerce projects). Separate mode — break-even ROAS (minimum for profit) based on your margin.

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) — a multiplier: how many UAH of revenue each UAH of ad spend returns. Expressed as X× (5×) or percentage (multiplier × 100). Base formula: ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad spend.

Break-even ROAS — the minimum ROAS below which ads are unprofitable. Formula: Break-even ROAS = 100% ÷ margin%. At 30% margin, break-even = 3.33×; below that, the campaign returns less than it spends.

Quick conversion between formats
Multiplier	Percent	Meaning
2×	200%	2 UAH revenue per 1 UAH spend
2.5×	250%	Break-even at 40% margin
5×	500%	Norm for competitive niches
6×	600%	Healthy level
8×	800%	Above norm
9.88×	988%	UPLIFY median (41 projects)
15-25×	1500-2500%	Top tier

Formulas the calculator uses

1. Standard ROAS:

ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad spend

Expressed as a multiplier (5×) or percentage (multiplier × 100). Example: revenue 50,000, spend 5,000 → ROAS = 10× = 1000%.

2. Break-even ROAS (minimum to not lose money):

Break-even ROAS = 100% ÷ Margin%

Margin% = (AOV − COGS) / AOV × 100%

Example: AOV 1500, COGS 900 → margin = 40% → break-even ROAS = 100/40 = 2.5×. If your actual ROAS is below 2.5× — campaign is losing money.

What ROAS values mean in practice

Interpretation based on UPLIFY benchmark across 41 UA projects (January-May 2026):

ROAS < break-even: losing money. Urgent audit.
ROAS = break-even: break-even point.
ROAS 2-5×: light profitability for most UA e-commerce.
ROAS 5-10×: healthy profitability. UPLIFY median (9.88×) sits here.
ROAS 10-15×: strong campaign.
ROAS 15-25×: top tier.
ROAS > 25×: rare achievement or measurement error.

UPLIFY benchmark: 41 UA e-commerce projects

For context — our real PMax dataset for January-May 2026 (full publication):

Median ROAS: 9.88× (= 988%)
Median CPC: 4.13 UAH
Median CPA: 101.46 UAH

If your ROAS is significantly below 5× — that's a signal you need a setup audit.

Why Google Ads ROAS differs from GA4

Reason	Effect
Attribution model	Google Ads: last-click or data-driven within the campaign. GA4: data-driven cross-channel (counts organic, email, direct).
iOS ATT blocking	Google Ads with Enhanced Conversions bypasses ATT and sees more iOS conversions. Client-side GA4 loses 30-50%.
Conversion window	Google Ads default: 30 days post-click + 1 day post-view. GA4: configurable (usually 30 days).
Server-side enhancement	If Enhanced Conversions are enabled (server) in Google Ads — additional +5-15% vs GA4 without equivalent.

General rule: trust Google Ads ROAS for in-channel optimization (Smart Bidding), GA4 for cross-channel attribution and strategic decisions.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate ROAS?

Base formula: ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad spend. Revenue = total order amount. Spend = actual ad-account spend. Expressed as multiplier (5×) or percentage (500% = 5×).

What does ROAS 2.5 mean?

ROAS 2.5 = 250% — every 1 UAH spent returns 2.50 UAH. For most UA e-commerce this is low (median 9.88×). At 40% margin, break-even = 2.5× = zero profit; at 30% margin — 3.33× break-even, so 2.5× = loss.

Is 800% ROAS good?

800% = 8× — good, below UPLIFY median (9.88×) but within norm. For high-margin products — normal; for low-margin — top tier.

Is 6× ROAS good for e-commerce?

ROAS 6× = 600% — healthy level. Slightly below UPLIFY median 9.88×, stable profitability for 25%+ margin. Growth potential via audience signals + brand exclusion optimization.

What is break-even ROAS?

Minimum ROAS below which ads are unprofitable. Formula: 100% ÷ Margin%. At 30% margin break-even = 3.33×. Key KPI for tROAS in Smart Bidding — set 10-20% above break-even.

Why does Google Ads show different ROAS than GA4?

Different attribution models (Google Ads last-click vs GA4 data-driven), iOS ATT blocks client-side tracking, different conversion windows. Trust Google Ads for in-channel optimization, GA4 for cross-channel attribution.
