Healthy margin. Check the break-even ROAS tool to see what your ads must return.

How it's calculated

  • Fees = price × fee %
  • Profit = price − product cost − shipping − fees
  • Margin % = profit ÷ price
  • Markup % = profit ÷ (product cost + shipping)

No — this tool shows the contribution before ads. Use the Ecom Profit Calculator to add your cost per acquisition and see profit after ads.
