At 40% margin you need 2.50× to break even — this campaign clears it.
ROAS is not profit
Most influencer reports stop at ROAS — revenue divided by spend. That number looks impressive right up until you subtract product cost. A 3× ROAS at 25% gross margin is a loss; the same 3× at 60% margin is excellent. This calculator shows the break-even multiple for your margin so you can judge a campaign in one glance, in profit terms.
The number under the number
Campaign-level ROI also hides the spread inside it: in a typical ten-creator campaign, two or three creators drive most of the revenue while several drive none. Cutting the bottom half and re-investing in the top performers is usually the single biggest ROI lever — but it requires per-creator attribution, not a campaign-level estimate.
FAQ
How do you calculate influencer marketing ROI?
ROAS = revenue driven ÷ total creator spend. But ROAS alone flatters: a 2× ROAS loses money if your gross margin is 40%, because you need 100 ÷ 40 = 2.5× just to break even. Profit = revenue × margin − spend.
What is a good ROAS for influencer campaigns?
Above your break-even ROAS (100 ÷ gross margin %). For a 40% margin D2C brand that's 2.5×; strong campaigns in India commonly land 4–8× when creators are chosen on past conversion data rather than follower count.
How do I know which revenue a creator actually drove?
Attribution: give each creator a unique tracked link and promo code, and count only confirmed orders that came through them. Without that, campaign revenue is a guess and any ROI number is fiction.
