Stop Rearranging Formulas in Your Head

Two calculators built for how media buyers actually work — no subscriptions, no logins, no spreadsheet setup required.

ROAS · Profit · Break-Even

ROAS Calculator

Enter your ad revenue, ad spend, and COGS to get your ROAS, break-even threshold, gross profit, and margin on ad spend — all at once. Color-coded to show whether your campaign is actually profitable, not just revenue-positive.

ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad Spend  ·  Break-Even = 1 ÷ (1 − COGS%)
CPM · Budget · Impressions

CPM Calculator

Three-mode toggle: solve for CPM, budget, or impressions. Enter any two values and get the third instantly. Useful for media planning, comparing platform costs, and estimating campaign reach for any budget.

CPM = (Budget ÷ Impressions) × 1,000  ·  All three modes

The Metrics That Actually Matter

Most campaign dashboards are full of vanity numbers. These three determine whether your ad spend is working.

Metric 01

What is CPM?

CPM (Cost Per Mille) is what you pay for 1,000 ad impressions — the universal pricing unit across display, video, and social. A low CPM means cheap reach, but cheap reach only matters if it converts. CPM measures delivery cost, not delivery value.

CPM = (Budget ÷ Impressions) × 1,000
Metric 02

What is ROAS?

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) measures revenue per dollar spent on ads. A 4× ROAS means $4 in revenue per $1 spent. But ROAS without margin context is misleading — a 4× ROAS on a 75% COGS product is barely break-even. Always check ROAS against your break-even threshold.

ROAS = Ad Revenue ÷ Ad Spend
Metric 03

Why Benchmarks Matter

Without context, a $9 CPM tells you nothing. For LinkedIn, it's a bargain. For Google Display, it's overpriced. Benchmarks give your numbers meaning — they let you tell the difference between a campaign that's genuinely efficient and one that just looks good in isolation.

Good metric = Your number in context
