ROAS Calculator — Are Your Ads Making Money?ROAS 计算器 —— 你的广告到底赚不赚钱?
Revenue-based ROAS flatters your ads. A 4x return sounds great until you account for a 20% margin — at which point you are losing money on every sale. Here is the honest version.只看营业额的 ROAS 会美化你的广告表现。4 倍回报听起来很好,直到你算进 20% 的毛利率 —— 那时你其实每卖一单就亏一单。这里给你实话。

How this is calculated计算方式说明
ROAS on its own is a vanity metric
Return on ad spend divides revenue by ad spend. Spend RM3,000, make RM12,000, and you have a 4x ROAS. Sounds excellent.
But revenue is not profit. If your margin is 20%, that RM12,000 of revenue is only RM2,400 of gross profit — against RM3,000 of ad spend. You lost RM600. A 4x ROAS and you are still going backwards.
Break-even ROAS is the number that matters
The formula is simple:
Break-even ROAS = 1 ÷ gross margin
| Your margin | Break-even ROAS | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | 10.0x | Brutal. Paid ads rarely work at this margin. |
| 20% | 5.0x | Hard. Needs high order values or repeat customers. |
| 30% | 3.3x | Workable with tight targeting. |
| 50% | 2.0x | Comfortable. Most services sit here. |
| 70% | 1.4x | Very forgiving. Typical of digital products. |
Know your margin before you spend a ringgit on ads. If you do not know it, that is the problem to solve first.
POAS — profit on ad spend
Instead of dividing revenue by ad spend, divide gross profit by ad spend. Anything above 1.0x is genuinely making money. This single change stops you from scaling campaigns that are quietly bleeding you.
When a losing campaign is still worth running
Two legitimate cases:
- Repeat customers. If a customer buys four times, you can afford to lose money acquiring them once. Set the repeat-purchase field above to see this properly.
- Genuinely tracked word of mouth. Some customers arrive through people your ads reached. Just be honest about whether this is measured or merely hoped for.
Everything else — brand awareness, "building an audience", staying visible — needs a number attached before it justifies losing money every month.
Things that quietly ruin your real ROAS
- Returns and refunds — revenue in the dashboard that never reaches your bank.
- Payment gateway fees — typically 2–3% off the top.
- Shipping you absorbed — free delivery is a margin cut, not a marketing expense.
- Discount codes — a 15% code on a 30% margin halves your profit.
- Attribution overlap — Meta and Google both claiming the same sale means your combined reported revenue exceeds what you actually banked.
单看 ROAS 是自我安慰的指标
广告支出回报率=营业额 ÷ 广告花费。花 RM3,000、做到 RM12,000,ROAS 就是 4 倍。听起来很棒。
但营业额不等于利润。如果你的毛利率是 20%,那 RM12,000 营业额只有 RM2,400 毛利 —— 而广告花了 RM3,000。你亏了 RM600。ROAS 4 倍,照样在倒退。
保本 ROAS 才是关键数字
公式很简单:
保本 ROAS = 1 ÷ 毛利率
| 你的毛利率 | 保本 ROAS | 意味着什么 |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | 10.0 倍 | 非常残酷。这种毛利做付费广告几乎行不通。 |
| 20% | 5.0 倍 | 很难。需要高客单价或回头客撑住。 |
| 30% | 3.3 倍 | 可行,但受众要设得很准。 |
| 50% | 2.0 倍 | 比较宽松。多数服务业在这一档。 |
| 70% | 1.4 倍 | 非常好做。数字产品typically在这一档。 |
在花第一令吉广告费之前,先搞清楚自己的毛利率。如果你不知道,那才是要先解决的问题。
POAS —— 广告费的利润回报
不要用营业额除以广告费,改用毛利除以广告费。超过 1.0 倍才是真的在赚钱。光是换这一个算法,就能阻止你把正在默默流血的广告越推越大。
什么情况下亏钱的广告仍值得跑
两种合理的情况:
- 回头客。如果一个客户会买四次,那第一次亏钱把他找来是划算的。把上方的重复购买次数填上,就能看清楚。
- 真的能追踪到的口碑传播。有些客户是透过看过你广告的人介绍来的。但要诚实面对:这是真的有在量,还是只是你希望如此。
其他理由 —— 品牌曝光、「养受众」、维持能见度 —— 在拿来合理化每个月亏钱之前,都应该先给它配上一个可衡量的数字。
会悄悄拉低真实 ROAS 的东西
- 退货与退款 —— 后台看得到、但永远没进你户口的营业额。
- 金流手续费 —— 一般先扣掉 2–3%。
- 你自己吸收的运费 —— 免运是砍毛利,不是营销费用。
- 折扣码 —— 30% 毛利之下给 15% 折扣,利润直接砍半。
- 归因重叠 —— Meta 和 Google 都说同一单是自己带来的,加起来的报表营业额会高于你实际收到的钱。
