Why high ROAS can still be unprofitable
ROAS = attributed revenue divided by ad spend. It excludes product and operating costs. For a simplified break-even ROAS, divide 1 by your pre-ad contribution margin expressed as a decimal. This assumes the same revenue basis and stable variable costs; it excludes overhead and profit targets.
| Net sales, assumed equal to attributed revenue here | $100.00 |
|---|---|
| Non-ad variable costs | -$60.00 |
| Ad spend | -$45.00 |
| Contribution after advertising, before overhead | -$5.00 |
Pre-ad contribution margin is 40%, so break-even ROAS is 1 / 0.40 = 2.5. Actual ROAS is 100 / 45, approximately 2.22. The USD 5 loss is before overhead. This simplified scenario does not establish campaign attribution.
From store sales to profit after advertising
Compare like periods and currencies. Platform-attributed revenue can overlap across platforms and is not interchangeable with Shopify net sales.

Product costs, shipping and fees, counted once
Contribution after advertising
Net sales minus variable costs and ad spend
