More video variations = more data = better ROAS

Why tracking video ad ROI matters

Most ecommerce brands focus on ROAS — but ROAS alone doesn't tell you whether you're actually profitable. A 3x ROAS on a product with 80% COGS is a losing proposition. This calculator factors in your product costs to give you a true picture of net profitability.

The biggest lever for improving video ad ROAS is creative quality and volume. Brands that test more ad variations find winning creatives faster — and a single winning video can generate 3–5x more revenue from the same ad spend. Sphynxify lets you generate dozens of video ad variations at a flat monthly rate, so you always have fresh creatives to test.

Use the calculator above to model your current campaigns and see what moving to a higher-volume creative strategy could do for your bottom line.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good ROAS for ecommerce video ads?

A ROAS of 3x or higher is considered healthy for most ecommerce brands — meaning for every $1 spent on ads, you earn $3 in revenue. Break-even ROAS depends on your margins: if your product costs $25 and sells for $75, your break-even ROAS is 1.5x.

How do I calculate video ad ROI?

Video ad ROI = (Revenue − Ad Spend − COGS) / Ad Spend × 100. First multiply your ad spend by ROAS to get revenue, subtract your ad spend and cost of goods sold to get net profit, then divide by ad spend.

How many video ad variations should I run per month?

Running 4–8 video ad variations per month gives you enough creative data to identify winning hooks and audiences quickly. More variations means more learning per dollar spent.

What is break-even ROAS and how do I calculate it?

Break-even ROAS is the minimum ROAS needed to cover your ad spend. Formula: Break-even ROAS = Price ÷ (Price − COGS). If your product sells for $75 and costs $25, break-even ROAS = 75 ÷ 50 = 1.5x.
