Connect Seller Central and the Captain tracks ACoS and TACoS by product and campaign, and flags when the trend turns.
How it’s calculated
ACoS is the campaign-level version: ad spend ÷ ad-attributed revenue.
Worked example
- Amazon ad spend
- $3,000
- Ad-attributed revenue
- $12,000
- Total Amazon revenue
- $40,000
- Result
- TACoS = 3,000 ÷ 40,000 = 7.5%
ACoS is 25% (3,000 ÷ 12,000), and 70% of revenue came from organic.
What your result means
TACoS shows how much of your total Amazon revenue goes to ads — organic sales included, which ACoS ignores. A low and falling TACoS usually means ads are lifting organic rank (efficient growth); a rising TACoS means you're leaning harder on ads to hold sales. Read it alongside ACoS, not instead of it.
Common mistakes
- Judging campaigns on TACoS alone — use ACoS for campaign efficiency and TACoS for the whole-account trend.
- Expecting a universal ‘good’ TACoS — new launches run high on purpose; mature products should trend down.
- Ignoring organic — a rising TACoS with flat sales means ads are propping up the total.
Learn how it works
ACoS measures campaign efficiency; TACoS measures your whole Amazon business's dependence on ads. Learn both formulas, how they differ, what good looks like, and why TACoS is the number to watch.

Frequently asked questions
ACoS is ad spend over ad-attributed revenue (campaign efficiency). TACoS is ad spend over total revenue, organic included — the health of your whole Amazon business.
It depends on stage. Launches can run 20%+ to build rank; established products often settle around 5–15%. The trend matters more than the absolute number.
Usually because ads are a bigger share of sales — either you scaled spend, or organic softened. Check whether total revenue is actually growing with the spend.
