Calculate the actual profitability of your advertising by factoring in your margins, not just total revenue.
Gross Profit:
2500
ROAS:
5
Net Profit:
1500
POAS Ratio:
2.5
A POAS above 1.0 means your gross profit exceeds your ad spend, indicating a profitable campaign before other overheads.
POAS measures gross profit generated for every dollar spent on ads. Unlike ROAS, which focuses purely on revenue, POAS ensures you are looking at the actual profit left over after product costs are covered.
POAS = (Revenue × Gross Margin %) / Ad Spend
Consider a campaign with $10,000 in Revenue, a 40% Gross Margin, and $2,000 in Ad Spend.
What is a good POAS?A POAS > 1.0 is technically profitable, but most businesses aim for 2.0+ to cover other costs like labor and shipping.
How is POAS different from ROAS?ROAS only looks at revenue, while POAS accounts for the cost of goods sold, providing a more accurate measure of bottom-line health.
Why should I use POAS?It prevents scaling campaigns that look successful on revenue but actually lose money after product costs are factored in.
