E-commerce campaign profitability requires more than just good products—it’s about understanding your profit margins and using that data to optimise and manage your paid media campaigns more efficiently. Allocating budgets without accurate insight into your profit margins can lead to wasted ad spend and underperformance.
This is precisely why we’ve developed the e-commerce profit calculator & KPI builder.
The tool is designed to
- Help you assess profit margins and get a clear indication of costs

Why is profit tracking important in paid media?
Running successful paid media campaigns isn’t just about creating engaging ads or choosing the right platforms. To achieve real ROI, you need to understand the impact of your product costs on your overall profitability. The better you know your profit margins, the better you can allocate your paid media budget for maximum impact.
Master unit economics for better ROI
Every e-commerce business faces hidden costs that can eat away at your profit margins—shipping fees, transaction costs, marketing expenses, etc. If these aren’t properly tracked, your paid media campaigns could drive sales without generating meaningful profit.
Our tool allows you to simply input these costs and get a clearer picture of your true profit margins. Once you know your profitability per product, you can make smarter decisions about how to allocate your ad spend across channels like Google Ads, Meta, or TikTok.
Key components include
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
- Shipping & fulfilment
- Marketing costs
These insights will allow you to channel your ad budget into high-performing areas, ensuring you get the most out of every dollar spent.
Optimise operational efficiency to drive campaign success
Knowing your unit economics is just the beginning. To really scale your paid media campaigns, you need to ensure your operating costs don’t erode your profits.
The tool is designed to help you understand the impact of overhead costs such as payroll, subscriptions, and more.
Based on your inputs, the tool breaks down your fixed and variable expenses, so you can optimise your paid media campaigns to drive sales and do it cost-effectively. With a clearer picture of your business’ operational health, you can now confidently increase ad budgets and scale without overspending.
- Payroll expenses
- Software and tech subscriptions
- Shipping costs
By understanding these metrics, you can optimise your ad campaigns, ensuring that each click and conversion delivers real, measurable profit.
Make smarter paid media decisions with accurate KPI tracking
Lastly, the tool helps you monitor the right KPIs to ensure you’re hitting your campaign goals. These indicators will help you fine-tune your ad strategy, adjust budgets, and help you maximise your ROI.
