Inputs

Enter your campaign numbers

How it works

ROI = (revenue − investment) ÷ investment × 100. ROAS = revenue ÷ investment. CPL = investment ÷ leads. CPA = investment ÷ customers.

Why This Matters

Know your numbers before you scale your spend

Gut feelings about marketing performance are expensive. Without clear ROI data, you risk pouring money into channels that look busy but don't actually generate profitable customers.

Kill underperforming campaigns

A campaign can generate lots of clicks and leads but still lose money. ROI cuts through vanity metrics and shows what's actually profitable.

Double down on winners

When a campaign shows a 300%+ ROI, you know it's safe to increase the budget. Data-driven scaling beats guesswork every time.

Report to stakeholders

Clear ROI numbers make it easy to justify marketing budget to partners, investors, or your own peace of mind. Speak in dollars, not impressions.

FAQ

Marketing ROI calculator FAQ

Common questions about ROI, ROAS, and campaign performance metrics.

What is ROI?

ROI (Return on Investment) measures the profitability of an investment as a percentage. It's calculated as (revenue − investment) ÷ investment × 100. An ROI of 100% means you doubled your money. An ROI of 0% means you broke even.

What is the difference between ROI and ROAS?

ROI measures net profit as a percentage of investment. ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) measures total revenue per dollar spent. A ROAS of 3x means $3 revenue per $1 spent. ROAS doesn't account for profit margins — ROI does.

What is a good ROAS?

A ROAS of 4x or higher is generally considered strong. However, it varies by industry: e-commerce often targets 4-6x, while lead generation businesses may be profitable at 2-3x depending on close rates and customer lifetime value.

What is cost per lead (CPL)?

CPL is the average cost to acquire one lead. It's calculated as total investment ÷ number of leads. A lower CPL means your campaign is generating leads more efficiently.

What is cost per acquisition (CPA)?

CPA is the average cost to acquire one paying customer. It's calculated as total investment ÷ number of customers. Compare your CPA to customer lifetime value — if CPA is lower, the campaign is sustainable.

What is a good conversion rate?

Conversion rate (leads to customers) varies by industry. B2B SaaS averages 5-15%. E-commerce averages 2-5%. Local services can see 20-40%. This calculator shows your lead-to-customer conversion rate.

Is this calculator free?

How do I improve my marketing ROI?

Focus on three levers: reduce cost per lead (better targeting), improve conversion rate (better follow-up and sales process), and increase customer value (upsells, retention, referrals). This calculator helps you see which lever has the most impact.
