TikTok Shop break-even ROAS calculator

Use break-even ROAS to decide whether a product can support paid acquisition or should stay organic and creator-led.

Break-even ROAS formula

Break-even ROAS = selling price divided by maximum affordable ad spend per order. Maximum affordable ad spend is the money left after product cost, platform fees, creator commission, shipping, returns, discounts, and fixed cost allocation.

Decision guide

If your required ROAS is higher than the ROAS your account can consistently reach, the SKU is not ready for paid scaling. Improve gross margin first: negotiate landed cost, bundle products, increase AOV, or reduce commission.
