How the TikTok Ads ROAS Calculator works
TikTok delivers cheap impressions to an audience with low purchase intent, which means the creative does the selling. Volume of creative matters more than precision of targeting — the asset is the targeting.

Frequently asked questions
What ROAS is realistic on TikTok?
Generally below Meta on directly attributed revenue, because intent is lower. Brands that succeed usually judge it on blended revenue, since much of its effect appears elsewhere.
Why does TikTok have such low CPMs?
High inventory and lower advertiser competition than Meta or Google. The trade is that you are interrupting entertainment rather than meeting intent.
What kind of creative works?
Native, fast, and demonstration-led. Polished brand films underperform consistently. Products with visible transformation or novelty do best, which is a genuine constraint on which businesses it suits.
How often do I need new creative?
Far more often than on other platforms — fatigue commonly sets in within one to two weeks. Budget for continuous production, because it functions as media spend.
