Marketing ROI Calculator – Free Return on Marketing Investment Tool
Find the return on your marketing spend: ads, SEO, social media or events. See ROI on revenue and on real profit, so you know whether a campaign actually made money.
Revenue ROI vs Profit ROI
Many reports show ROI on revenue, which looks great. ROI on profit tells you whether the campaign actually made money after product costs.
| Campaign | Revenue | Cost | Margin | Revenue ROI | Profit ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course ads | ₹2,50,000 | ₹50,000 | 70% | 400% | 250% |
| Product ads | ₹2,50,000 | ₹50,000 | 20% | 400% | 0% |
Same revenue, same cost, very different results. Margin decides the real return.
How to Measure Marketing ROI Properly
Count all costs
Include ad spend, tools, design, agency fees and staff time, not just the ad bill.
Track the source
Tag every link so you know which campaign brought the sale. Use our UTM builder.
Use real margins
Get your per-order profit from our profit margin calculator.
Remember repeat sales
A campaign that brings loyal customers pays back over months. See our LTV calculator.
Give SEO time
SEO costs up front and pays later. Measure it over a year.
Compare channels
Work out ROI for each channel separately, then move budget to the best ones.
Spend Marketing Money Where It Pays

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate marketing ROI?
Marketing ROI = (gross profit from marketing − marketing cost) ÷ marketing cost × 100. Without margins, you can use revenue instead, but it overstates the return.
What is a good marketing ROI?
Any positive profit ROI means the campaign made money. Many businesses look for a revenue return of around 5:1, but the right target depends on your margins.
What is the difference between ROI and ROAS?
ROAS is revenue divided by ad spend. ROI subtracts the cost and usually uses profit, so it shows whether you actually gained money.
What should I include in marketing cost?
Ad spend, tools, design, content, agency or freelancer fees, and any staff time spent on the campaign.
What are "sales you would get anyway"?
Sales from regular or walk-in customers who would have bought without the campaign. Removing them gives a fairer ROI.
