How ACoS is calculated

ACoS = (ad spend ÷ ad-attributed sales) × 100. A 25% ACoS means you spent $0.25 in ads for every $1 of attributed ad sales — equivalent to 4× ROAS.

Break-even ACoS roughly equals your margin %. Thin-margin ASINs need lower ACoS (or higher organic lift) to stay profitable.

  • ACoS % = (spend ÷ ad sales) × 100
  • ROAS ≈ 100 ÷ ACoS %
  • Compare ACoS to margin and TACoS for full picture

Frequently asked questions

What is ACoS?

Advertising Cost of Sales is ad spend as a percentage of ad-attributed sales. It is widely used on Amazon PPC as the inverse of ROAS.

How do you calculate ACoS?

Divide ad spend by ad sales, then multiply by 100. Example: $500 spend and $2,000 ad sales → ACoS = 25%.

What is a good ACoS?

Break-even ACoS is near your product margin. Below that, ads contribute to profit (before fees). Launch phases may tolerate higher ACoS for rank; mature ASINs usually need tighter targets.
