Frequently Asked Questions — Amazon Break-Even ACoS
Key facts regarding break-even limits, profit margins, and PPC bidding
What is Break-Even ACoS on Amazon?▼
Break-Even ACoS is the exact Advertising Cost of Sale percentage where your PPC ad spend equals your pre-ad profit margin. At Break-Even ACoS, your net profit from the sale after all Amazon fees, COGS, and ad spend is exactly zero.
How is Break-Even ACoS calculated?▼
Break-Even ACoS % = (Pre-Ad Profit per Unit ÷ Selling Price) × 100. Pre-Ad Profit is calculated as Selling Price − COGS − FBA Fulfillment Fee − Referral Fee − Other Expenses.
What happens if my current campaign ACoS is higher than my Break-Even ACoS?▼
If your campaign ACoS exceeds your Break-Even ACoS, you are losing money on every PPC sale. For example, if your Break-Even ACoS is 25% and your campaign ACoS is 35%, you are losing 10% of the sale price on every ad order.
How do I calculate my Target ACoS for profit?▼
Target ACoS = Break-Even ACoS % − Desired Net Profit Margin %. For example, if your Break-Even ACoS is 30% and you want to keep a 10% net profit margin after ads, your Target ACoS is 20%.
Why is Break-Even ACoS important for product launches?▼
During a product launch, sellers often run aggressive PPC ads at or near Break-Even ACoS to generate sales velocity, keyword rankings, and customer reviews without incurring out-of-pocket losses.
