How to calculate email roi

Email ROI = ((Email-Attributed Revenue - Email Programme Cost) / Email Programme Cost) x 100

Why email roi matters for Klaviyo users

Email is consistently cited as the highest-ROI marketing channel, but most teams never calculate their actual ROI. They track attributed revenue without accounting for the team, tools, and infrastructure costs required to generate it. True ROI reveals whether the programme is as efficient as assumed.

Mapping email ROI into your metric tree provides the financial context for every operational decision. Investments in better personalisation, more sophisticated flows, or additional headcount are justified only if they improve the overall return on programme investment.
