TikTok uses a default attribution window of 7 days after click + 1 day after view. Reported ROAS tends to be inflated vs. actual sales, especially for discovery products. Always cross-check with verified orders in your store.

How to know if your TikTok Ads are truly profitable
This calculator lets you quickly estimate whether your TikTok Ads campaigns are generating profit or just moving money without margin. Based on your spend, CPC, conversion rate and average order value, you get a clear estimate of how many sales you can generate, how much each customer costs you, and whether your campaign is profitable.
A common mistake in ecommerce is thinking that if there are sales, the business is working. But many campaigns generate revenue while still losing money. That's why, beyond ROAS, you need to understand real profit.
TikTok Ads campaign types and ROI expectations
In-Feed Ads
Best for direct response. Lower CPM, higher volume. Focus on conversion rate and CPA.
TopView Ads
Premium awareness format. High CPM. ROI only makes sense for high-margin products at scale.
Spark Ads
Boost organic content. Often best ROAS because social proof is built in.
Common mistakes when calculating TikTok Ads ROI
- —Not accounting for the real product margin. Revenue is not the same as profit.
- —Using inflated conversions from the first days of testing.
- —Ignoring returns and operational costs when calculating margin.
- —Confusing ROAS with real profitability. A 3x ROAS with a 20% margin is still a loss.
