FAQ
Ad Budget Calculator FAQ
Common questions answered about this free tool.
How much should I spend on ads?
A common benchmark is 10-20% of revenue. For new businesses, start with 15-20% to build momentum. For established brands, 5-10% for maintenance.
What is a good ROAS?
A 4:1 ROAS (400%) is considered good. 3:1 is break-even for most businesses after costs. Below 2:1 typically means you're losing money.
How accurate are these calculators?
Our calculators use standard industry formulas and produce accurate estimates based on the data you provide. Results should be used as benchmarks and planning tools, not as guaranteed projections.
What data do I need to use a calculator?
Each calculator requires different inputs. Basic calculators need just a few numbers, while advanced ones may need more detailed information. All inputs are clearly labeled with explanations.
Can I save my calculation results?
Yes, use the copy button to save results to your clipboard, or take a screenshot for your records. We recommend keeping notes on which inputs produced which results for future reference.
Are these calculators suitable for business planning?
Yes, these calculators are designed for business planning and decision-making. They provide realistic estimates based on your inputs and standard industry benchmarks.
How is ROI calculated?
ROI = (Net Profit / Investment Cost) x 100. Net Profit is your total returns minus your total investment. The result is expressed as a percentage showing your return relative to your investment.
What is a good conversion rate?
Average conversion rates vary by industry: 2-5% for e-commerce, 5-10% for B2B services, 10-20% for local service businesses. Focus on improving your rate over time rather than comparing to averages.
How often should I update my calculations?
Re-run calculations whenever your business data changes — monthly for active businesses, quarterly for established ones. Regular updates help track progress and identify trends.
Can I use these for client proposals?
Yes, these calculators are great for creating professional estimates and projections in client proposals. The numbers add credibility to your recommendations and help clients understand value.
