Nova P&L dashboard showing revenue, 40+ fee deductions, COGS, and net profit for ROI calculation

Why you don't know your real ROI

01

Revenue ≠ ROI

$500K in sales could be a 200% return or a 5% return. Without full cost tracking, you can't tell.

02

Ad spend is a black hole

PPC campaigns consume capital daily, but most sellers track ACoS in isolation, disconnected from product-level profit.

03

40+ hidden fees

Referral, fulfillment, storage, returns, refund admin. Most sellers track 5-8 of them.

04

Inventory capital ignored

$100K in FBA warehouses is invested capital. Monthly profit alone won't show your real ROI.

What is Amazon ROI and how do you calculate it?

Amazon ROI measures how much profit your business generates relative to total invested capital. The formula: ROI = (Net Profit / Total Investment) × 100. Total investment includes COGS, all Amazon fees, PPC spend, shipping, and operational expenses.

Don't confuse margin with ROI. A product with a 30% margin looks healthy. But if you invested $100K in inventory that takes 6 months to sell, your annualized ROI tells a different story. True ROI factors in how much capital you deployed and how quickly it returns.

Nova gives you every number needed to calculate ROI accurately. The P&L dashboard tracks 40+ fee types, COGS per SKU, our Amazon PPC tool for product-level ad spend, and returns. All costs visible in one place. No spreadsheets.

The P&L view captures everything Amazon-related

The P&L view is the big one. It captures everything Amazon-related with the granularity to track down every unexpected expense, giving me a real profit statement I can run the business off of. No more guessing margins or waiting for end-of-month reconciliation.

Just go for it. You won't regret it

The Nova team has built something truly special. The days of clunky Looker Studio dashboards are over. They are communicative and collaborative, and work hard to make the platform as helpful as possible for their users.

Nova is great

Nova keeps us up to date across all of our client accounts and provides a unique set of analytics. The data is live, which lets us make quick decisions faster than with other tools. The events feature is excellent for logging listing changes and running lift tests.

Replaced hours of reporting with one dashboard

I manage multiple brands and Cockpit, P&L and Day-to-Day are now part of my daily workflow. What used to take hours across multiple tools I now see in one place. Antoine and Maxime are clearly building this with real seller challenges in mind, and they listen.

Amazon ROI Calculator: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about measuring your Amazon return on investment.

Amazon ROI (Return on Investment) measures how much profit you earn relative to the total capital you put into your Amazon business. The formula is: ROI = (Net Profit / Total Investment) × 100. Total investment includes inventory costs (COGS), Amazon fees, PPC ad spend, shipping, and operational expenses. Nova tracks all these inputs so you can calculate your true ROI without spreadsheets.
Profit margin shows how much you keep from each sale (net profit / revenue). ROI shows the return on your total invested capital, including inventory sitting in FBA warehouses, prepaid advertising, and operational costs. A product can have a healthy 30% margin but poor ROI if you tied up $50,000 in slow-moving inventory to generate it.
Nova tracks 40+ Amazon fee types (referral, FBA fulfillment, storage, returns, refund admin), COGS per SKU, PPC advertising spend at the campaign and product level, and promotional discounts. These represent the major cost categories that determine your true return on investment.
