What is Social Media Ad ROI Calculator?

Marketing math should not require a spreadsheet every time someone asks “was Meta worth it this month?” Return on ad spend (ROAS) and return on investment (ROI) are the basic lenses—one is a ratio people quote in meetings, the other translates into percent gain or loss on dollars risked. Cost per conversion adds another lens when your funnel is volume-based. This calculator keeps the definitions visible so you do not mix up numerator and denominator when you are in a hurry.

Formula

ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad spend
ROI % = ((Revenue − Ad spend) ÷ Ad spend) × 100
CPA = Ad spend ÷ Conversions (if conversions > 0)

Formula Explained

These formulas assume revenue and spend line up to the same time window and attribution story. If your business has long sales cycles, your marketing team may track blended models instead—still useful as a starting point.

Example

Spend $5,000; attributed revenue $18,500; 142 purchases. ROAS ≈ 3.7×, ROI ≈ 270% on spend, CPA ≈ $35.21 per purchase—then ask whether margin supports that CPA.
