Marketing Costs
The Ad spend across all platforms, such as Meta, Google, Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok, and others. It represents the overall investment in driving traffic and sales through paid marketing channels.
Operating Expenses
Total Operating Expenses are the costs of running your business, including salaries, rent, interest, professional fees, platform fees, and other overhead expenses.
Tracking these costs helps you understand true profitability and plan future inventory purchases. To add custom expenses, use the Operating Expenses section.
Note: Taxes collected on behalf of the government (such as Sales Tax, GST, VAT, etc.) are also included in Operating Expenses and deducted from profit calculations.
Net Profit
The final profit the store earns after subtracting all operating expenses from CM3.
It represents what's left after covering product, fulfillment, marketing, and operational costs. This metric shows the store's overall profitability and financial health.
Net Margin %
Net profit margin is calculated by dividing Net profit by Total revenue
This represents the percentage of revenue that remains as profit after all costs and expenses are accounted for.
For most eCommerce businesses, a net profit margin ranging from 10% to 20% is typically viewed as a sign of financial health.
CM2
Contribution Margin 2 = Net Revenue - Product Cost - Order Fulfillment Costs
This metric represents the profit remaining after deducting both the product cost and the order fulfillment expenses from the Net Revenue. It illustrates the amount the business retains after covering these core costs.
Gross Profit (CM1) = Net Revenue - Product Cost
Gross Profit represents the revenue remaining after deducting the direct cost of the goods sold.
GM (CM1%)
Gross Margin (CM1%) = Gross Profit / Net Revenue
Gross Margin shows the percentage of profit remaining after the cost of the product is subtracted from revenue.
Generally, a Gross Margin of around 75% or higher is considered a strong indicator of healthy product-level profitability.
CM 2
Contribution Margin 2 = Net Revenue - Product Cost - Order Fulfillment Costs
This metric represents the profit remaining after deducting both the product cost and the order fulfillment expenses from the Net Revenue. It illustrates the amount the business retains after covering these core costs.
CM 2 %
Contribution Margin 2 % = CM2 / Net Revenue
A CM2 of 60% or more is typically regarded as a healthy target, although this benchmark can fluctuate based on the specific product assortment and pricing strategy.
CM 3
CM3 = Net Revenue - Product Cost - Order Fulfillment Costs - Marketing Spend
This metric represents the profit remaining after accounting for product, fulfillment, and marketing expenditures.
CM 3 %
Contribution Margin 3 % = CM3 / Net Revenue
A healthy CM3% generally falls between 30% and 45%. However, this optimal percentage may vary depending on the brand's particular growth stage and marketing strategy.

Marketing Performance
MER (ROAS)
MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio) is a key metric that measures the effectiveness of marketing investment in generating revenue. MER = Net revenue divided by total marketing spend.
A higher MER signifies superior marketing performance, demonstrating that the business is generating more revenue for each dollar allocated to advertising.
aMER (NC ROAS)
aMER (Acquisition MER) = Net Revenue from new customers / Total Marketing Spend.
aMER measures how effectively marketing spend generates new customer revenue.
A higher aMER indicates that ads are performing effectively in acquiring new customers relative to the money spent.
MPR (POAS)
This metric indicates the profit generated for every dollar spent on marketing.
MPR (Marketing Profit Ratio) = CM2 / Total marketing spend.
A higher MPR signifies that marketing efforts are more profitable and efficient.
aMPR (NC POAS)
aMPR (Acquisition MPR) measures the profitability of new customer acquisition. It represents the profit generated from new customer orders for every dollar spent on marketing.
aMPR = CM2 from new customer orders / Total marketing spend.
CAC
The average amount spent to acquire a new customer. It is calculated by dividing total marketing spend by the number of new customer orders.
A lower CAC indicates more efficient marketing and better return on ad spend.
First-Order CM per NC
First-Order Contribution Margin per New Customer
Measures the average profit generated per new customer on their first order. It is calculated as the first-order contribution divided by the number of new customers.
This helps you understand how much profit each new customer contributes after accounting for product costs and ad spend, and evaluate the efficiency of your customer acquisition efforts.
BEROAS (Breakeven ROAS)
The Break-Even Return on Ad Spend (BEROAS) is the minimum return the store needs on ad spending to cover product costs and avoid a loss. It is calculated by dividing Net Revenue by Gross Profit.
A BEROAS of 1 signifies that ad expenditure precisely covers product costs. Any BEROAS value greater than 1 indicates profitability.
