Simplify Ad Metrics—Instantly Convert ACoS ↔ ROAS or calculate directly from spend & return.
ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales) and ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) are two sides of the same coin—both measure ad efficiency, just expressed differently.
ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad Spend
ACoS = (Ad Spend ÷ Revenue) × 100%
ROAS (%) = 100 ÷ ACoS (%)
ACoS (%) = 100 ÷ ROAS
Example 1: ACoS to ROAS
ACoS: 25%
ROAS: 100 ÷ 25 = 4.0
This means for every $1 you spend on ads, you earn $4 in revenue.
Example 2: ROAS to ACoS
ROAS: 5.0
ACoS: 100 ÷ 5 = 20%
Example 3: From Spend & Revenue
Ad Spend: $100
Revenue: $400
ROAS: $400 ÷ $100 = 4.0
ACoS: ($100 ÷ $400) × 100 = 25%
Use ACoS when: You want to control spend and protect margins. Common on Amazon Advertising.
Use ROAS when: You’re focused on revenue expansion and scaling. Common on Google and Facebook Ads.
Knowing your product margins allows you to calculate a break-even ACoS or ROAS:
Break-Even ACoS = Profit Margin %
Break-Even ROAS = 100 ÷ Break-Even ACoS
If your profit margin is 40%, your break-even ACoS is 40% and break-even ROAS is 2.5.
Amazon: Primarily uses ACoS in reporting
Google Ads: Uses ROAS (called “Conv. value / cost”)
Facebook/Meta: Uses ROAS
TikTok Ads: Uses ROAS
