Calculator 1 of 10
Return on ad spend calculator (ROAS)
This Google Ads ROAS calculator turns your revenue and ad spend into a percentage. It also works as a Google Ads target ROAS calculator if you plan to use the Target ROAS bid strategy, or want to understand the link between spend and revenue.
How it is worked out ROAS % = revenue from ads ÷ ad spend × 100.
A Google Ads profit calculator for the basics: enter your total sales and total costs to see the profit and the profit margin. Knowing this first tells you what Google Ads performance you need to keep or lift your profit.
How it is worked out Profit = sales − costs. Profit margin % = profit ÷ sales × 100.
Enter your average order value and your profit margin before ad spend. The break-even ROAS is the return at which a sale pays for its own advertising and nothing more.
How it is worked out Break-even ROAS % = 100 ÷ profit margin % × 100. Maximum cost per sale = average order value × profit margin %.
A simple marketing budget calculator for Google Ads. Work it either way round: start from the enquiries you want, or from the budget you have. You supply the cost per click and the conversion rate.
How it is worked out Clicks needed = enquiries ÷ conversion rate. Budget = clicks × cost per click. In the other mode: clicks = budget ÷ cost per click, and enquiries = clicks × conversion rate.
Work out what a customer is worth over the years and how much of that you could spend to win one.
How it is worked out Lifetime value = average sale × purchases a year × years. Lifetime profit = lifetime value × profit margin %. You could afford to pay = lifetime profit × the share you choose.
Put a number on the calls that go unanswered. Only you know how many you miss and how many would have booked, so these are your figures.
How it is worked out Lost work a week = missed calls × share that would have booked × average job value. A month = a week × 52 ÷ 12. A year = a week × 52.
A conversion rate calculator with a value attached: see what a higher conversion rate would be worth on the traffic you already have.
How it is worked out Conversions = visitors × conversion rate. Extra conversions = improved conversions − current conversions. Extra value = extra conversions × value of one conversion.
Three things to know before you start. Your numbers in, a plain answer out.
The calculators only do arithmetic on the figures you give them.
Using the calculators
1Step 1Use your own figuresThe defaults are examples.More detail
Replace every example number with your own: revenue and spend from your Google Ads account, margin and order value from your accounts. An answer is only as good as the numbers you put in.
2Step 2Read the formulaIt is shown under each result.More detail
Each card prints the sum it does in plain English, so you can check it by hand or in a spreadsheet. The projectors repeat a steady monthly rate and ignore seasonality, so treat them as illustrations.
3Step 3Compare with your accountThen decide what to change.More detail
Break-even ROAS tells you the line, your real ROAS shows where you stand against it, and the budget planner shows what your cost per click and conversion rate imply. If you want a second pair of eyes on the real account, ask for a free audit.
Google Ads calculator FAQs
Google Ads calculator FAQs.
Return and profit
What is ROAS in Google Ads?
ROAS is return on ad spend: the revenue your ads brought in divided by what you spent on them, shown here as a percentage. If your ads bring in five times what you spent, that is a ROAS of 500%.
How do I calculate ROAS in Google Ads?
Divide the revenue from your ads by your ad spend and multiply by 100 to get a percentage. The return on ad spend calculator above does it as you type.
What is break even ROAS?
Break even ROAS is the return at which a sale pays for its own advertising and leaves nothing over. It is 100 divided by your profit margin, as a percentage of spend: a 25% margin gives a break even ROAS of 400%. Above it you make money on the sale, below it you lose money.
Is a high ROAS always good?
Not on its own. ROAS counts revenue, not profit, so a high ROAS on a low-margin product can still lose money. Compare it with your break even ROAS rather than with a general figure.
How is profit margin different from profit?
Profit is the money left after costs. Profit margin is that profit as a share of sales. The profit margin calculator shows both, and the margin feeds the break even ROAS calculator.
Budget and cost
How do I work out a Google Ads budget?
Start from the enquiries you want, divide by your conversion rate to get the clicks you need, then multiply by your cost per click. The budget calculator also works the other way, from a budget to the clicks and enquiries it implies. You supply the cost per click and conversion rate, because only your own account knows them.
What is the difference between cost per lead and cost per sale?
Cost per lead is your spend divided by the enquiries you got. Cost per sale is your spend divided by the sales you won. The gap between them is your lead to sale rate, which the cost per lead calculator shows when you enter your sales.
What is customer lifetime value and why does it matter for ads?
It is what a customer is worth to you over the whole time they buy from you. Knowing it tells you how much of the lifetime profit you could spend winning a customer, which is often more than the profit on the first sale.
What does the conversion rate uplift calculator show?
It shows what a higher conversion rate would be worth on the visitors you already have. It does not say a higher rate can be reached; testing on your own website is how you find out.
About these calculators
Do you store the numbers I type?
No. The sums are done in your browser and the numbers you enter stay there. We only count that a calculator was used.
Are the growth projectors forecasts?
No. They repeat one steady monthly rate for the months you choose. Real months move with seasonality, budgets and competition, so use them as an illustration.
