So the number actually means something for your store.
It's the ROAS where your ads exactly break even – you're neither making nor losing money on the advertising. Everything above that number is profit, everything below is a loss.
Break-even ROAS = selling price ÷ (price − product cost). In other words, it's set by your margin: the better your margin, the lower the ROAS you need. Example: a $39.99 price and a $12.50 cost gives 39.99 ÷ (39.99 − 12.50) = 1.45.
There's no magic number – it depends entirely on your margin. One store can be profitable at ROAS 1.6 while another needs 3.0. Calculate your own instead of guessing.
