Calculators

Each tool takes the costs you already know and returns the number you need to make a decision. No accounts, no exports, no waiting.

Find the minimum ROAS your ads need to cover product costs, shipping and transaction fees — plus your maximum CPA and profit at different return levels.

What return does every $1 of ad spend have to produce before I lose money?

Break one order down into revenue, costs and the profit you keep, including ad spend and refunds.

What do I actually keep from this order?

How many orders a month cover your fixed costs at your current contribution per order.

How many orders do I need before the store makes money?

Work backwards from costs, fees and a target profit margin to the price a product has to carry.

What do I need to charge to hit the margin I want?

Why contribution, not revenue

Revenue tells you what came in. Contribution tells you what is left once the product, the shipping and the payment processor have taken their share — and that leftover is the only money advertising can be paid from. Every calculator here starts from the same place, which is why the numbers agree with each other.

The formulas, the assumptions behind them and the review dates are published in the methodology.
