ROI measures profit relative to spend. ROAS measures gross revenue relative to spend. Use both: ROAS for platform optimization, ROI for business profitability — especially when margins are below 100%.
Profit = $40,000 − $10,000 = $30,000ROI ratio = $30,000 ÷ $10,000 = 3:1ROI % = 300%ROAS = $40,000 ÷ $10,000 = 4:1CPA = $10,000 ÷ 100 = $100CPL = $10,000 ÷ 250 = $40Break-even is 1:1 ROAS (0% ROI) — revenue equals cost. Default 4:1 ROAS means $3 profit per $1 spent before operating overhead. If gross margin is 50%, 4:1 revenue ROAS ≈ 2:1 on gross profit. Use break-even sales or product margin calculators for net view.
