What is Break-even ROAS?

Definition

Break-even ROAS is the lowest return on ad spend at which a campaign covers product costs and ad spend.

Formula

Break-even ROAS = 1 / gross margin

Why it matters

It equals one divided by gross margin, so a 40 percent margin gives a break-even ROAS of 2.5. Campaigns above the figure add profit toward overhead, and those below lose money.
