How to use this tool

  1. Enter target ACOS, price, conversion rate, and CPC estimates.
  2. Review required ad spend and profit after PPC.
  3. Adjust assumptions to stress-test worst-case PPC scenarios.

Formula

ACOS = Ad Spend ÷ Ad Revenue | TACOS = Ad Spend ÷ Total Revenue

Example

25% ACOS on a 30% margin product may still be profitable; 25% ACOS on a 12% margin product often is not.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming conversion rate from retail, not Amazon ads
  • Ignoring TACOS when organic sales matter
  • Launching PPC without keyword validation

Estimates use Amazon's published fee structure. See our fee accuracy report for verification details and limitations.

Frequently asked questions

What is ACOS?

ACOS (Advertising Cost of Sales) is the percentage of ad spend relative to ad-attributed revenue. Lower ACOS means more efficient advertising.

What is TACOS?

TACOS (Total Advertising Cost of Sales) includes both ad spend and product costs. It shows the true cost of advertising including product expenses.

What is a good ACOS for Amazon PPC?

A good ACOS depends on your profit margins. Generally, ACOS should be 20-30% for profitable campaigns, but this varies by product and strategy.

How do I calculate cost per click?

Cost per click (CPC) is calculated by dividing total ad spend by number of clicks. Our calculator estimates CPC based on your target ACOS and conversion rate.

What conversion rate should I use?

Average Amazon conversion rates are 10-15%, but this varies by product category, price point, and listing quality. Use your historical data if available.
