Formula, assumptions & limitations
Exactly how the numbers above are calculated, so you can check them and decide what to adjust.
Formulas
- Total spend
- ad spend + content/production cost + tools/software cost
- Revenue
- conversions × average order value
- Profit
- revenue − total spend
- ROI (%)
- (profit ÷ total spend) × 100
- Cost per lead (CPL)
- total spend ÷ leads
- Customer acquisition cost (CAC)
- total spend ÷ conversions
- Conversion rate (%)
- (conversions ÷ leads) × 100
- Break-even conversions
- total spend ÷ average order value, rounded up to a whole sale
Units
- Money values are in pounds sterling (£): totals are rounded to the nearest pound, CPL and CAC to the penny.
- Leads and conversions are counts for the same campaign period as the spend.
Assumptions
- Revenue is first-sale revenue only (conversions × average order value) — repeat business and lifetime value are not included.
- Every conversion is attributed to this campaign spend.
- Blank, negative or non-numeric entries are treated as 0.
- Ratios that would divide by zero (for example CPL with no leads) show “n/a” rather than a misleading 0.
Limitations
- ROI here is revenue-based, not margin-based: it ignores your delivery costs, so a positive ROI does not by itself mean the work was profitable.
- It does not connect to ad platforms or analytics, so results are only as accurate as the numbers you enter.
- Not financial or tax advice.
