Break-Even ROAS

Minimum ROAS needed to cover all costs with no profit or loss.

Break-Even ROAS is the threshold below which your campaigns lose money. Formula: BE-ROAS = 1 / Contribution Margin %. With a 40% contribution margin, the BE-ROAS is 2.5. Any ROAS above that is profitable; below is a loss. Calculating your BE-ROAS is essential for setting realistic campaign targets and avoiding scaling unprofitable campaigns.
