How it is calculated

Contribution margin = Price - Product cost - Shipping - Payment fees - Other costs
Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Price Γ— 100
Break-even ROAS = Price / Contribution margin
Break-even CPA = Contribution margin

The contribution margin is what one sale leaves after every cost that scales with the order. Break-even ROAS is the price divided by that margin: at this ratio the ad spend consumes the whole margin and the order earns nothing. Break-even CPA is the same threshold expressed as a maximum ad cost per order.
