Wasted spend calculator

Four numbers in, one painful number out: roughly how much of your monthly ad budget goes to waste — and what fixing it is worth.

Don’t know it? Run the break-even calculator first — it takes a minute.

Wasted per month — roughly, at your inputs
Waste share — of every ad dollar
Wasted per year — if nothing changes
Recoverable in 90 days — about 70% of the waste
ACoS path — where the fix points

How we estimate: 12% structural waste (bid overlap, dayparting, zombie terms — present in almost every account we audit), plus half a point for every point your ACoS runs above break-even, plus Auto-heavy drift. Capped at 38% — even the roughest accounts convert something.

A rough estimate from your inputs and patterns across accounts we have managed — not a full account audit.
