Precision

Quick Guidance

Keep ACOS under your derived ceiling to protect contribution margin. If ROAS slips below the calculated multiplier, tighten bids, refresh product detail pages, or re-segment targets before increasing spend.

How to Read the Results

Efficient zone (ROAS ≥ target × 1.05)

Your ACOS is lower than planned, so the campaign is beating ROAS expectations. Expand budgets and replicate the mix across adjacent keywords.

Monitor zone (target × 0.95 ≤ ROAS < target × 1.05)

Performance is hovering near goal. Track ACOS daily, refresh creative, and schedule incremental bid adjustments before cost drifts upward.

Critical zone (ROAS < target × 0.95)

Your ROAS has slipped, meaning ACOS is consuming margin. Pause wasteful terms, tighten negative keywords, or improve product contribution margin.

Formulas Used by the Converter

Simple math with high-impact payoffs

ACOS to ROAS

ACOS is the inverse of ROAS. When ACOS is expressed as a decimal (0.20), divide one by that value to reveal the ROAS multiple (5×).

ROAS = 1 ÷ ACOS

Example: ACOS 0.25 → ROAS 4×

ROAS to ACOS

Flip the ratio when leadership provides a ROAS mandate. Divide one by the ROAS goal to find the highest ACOS you can afford.

ACOS = 1 ÷ ROAS

Example: ROAS 3.5× → ACOS 28.57%

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ACOS to ROAS calculator support decimal and percent inputs?

Yes. Enter ACOS as 0.18 or 18 and the converter normalizes the value automatically while keeping the return on ad spend result precise.

What is a healthy ACOS for Amazon FBA sellers?

Product margins vary, but many private-label sellers stay profitable when ACOS lives between 20% and 30%, which translates to a 3.3× to 5× ROAS range.

Can I reverse the calculation to set ACOS goals?

Absolutely. Enter a desired ROAS and the tool returns the maximum ACOS you can afford without eroding contribution margin.

How often should I refresh targets?

Review ACOS and ROAS weekly during stable periods, then move to daily checks during seasonal peaks or whenever CPC volatility rises.

Does this replace profit analysis?

Use the converter as a fast alignment layer, then validate decisions with contribution margin, lifetime value, and blended ROI calculations.
