How It Works

TikTok ROAS divides the total revenue from TikTok-attributed purchases by your total TikTok ad spend. TikTok uses its click and view attribution windows to connect ad interactions with conversions and their associated order values. A ROAS above 1.0x means you’re generating more revenue than you’re spending on ads.
