Why Calculate ROI?
Marketing without ROI tracking is just spending. Calculating Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) allows you to identify which channels print money and which ones burn it.

The Formula
ROI = (Net Profit / Total Cost) x 100. We also calculate channel-specific metrics like ROAS (Revenue / Ad Spend) and CPL (Cost Per Lead) to give you a granular view of performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good marketing ROI?
A 5:1 ratio (500%) is generally considered strong for most industries. A 2:1 ratio is often the break-even point when factoring in overhead, while 10:1 is exceptional.
What is the difference between ROI and ROAS?
ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) measures gross revenue generated for every dollar spent on ads. ROI (Return on Investment) accounts for all costs (including labor, tools, and COGS) to measure actual net profit.
How do I calculate LTV?
Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) is the average revenue a customer generates throughout their relationship with you. It's calculated as: (Avg. Order Value) x (Purchase Frequency) x (Customer Lifespan).
