Frequently Asked Questions
What is ROI and why is it important for Ontario businesses?
Return on Investment (ROI) measures the profitability of an investment relative to its cost. For businesses in Mississauga, Toronto, and across the GTA, ROI is critical for evaluating marketing campaigns, equipment purchases, hiring decisions, and expansion plans. A positive ROI means your investment generated profit, while negative ROI indicates a loss. Insight Accounting helps Ontario businesses track and optimize ROI across all major business decisions.
How do I calculate ROI for a marketing campaign?
To calculate marketing ROI, subtract your total marketing costs (ad spend, agency fees, creative costs) from your revenue generated, then divide by total costs and multiply by 100 for percentage. For example, if you spent $5,000 on Google Ads and generated $15,000 in revenue, your ROI is 200%. Our Mississauga CPA firm helps businesses set up proper tracking systems to measure marketing ROI accurately across digital and traditional channels.
What is a good ROI percentage for a small business in Ontario?
A "good" ROI varies by industry and investment type, but generally, businesses in the GTA aim for at least 15-25% annual ROI on major investments. Marketing campaigns often target 300-500% ROI, while equipment purchases may have lower but steady returns. For businesses in Toronto and Mississauga, industry benchmarks and tax implications (capital cost allowance, small business deduction) significantly impact net ROI. Consult with our CPAs to set realistic ROI targets for your sector.
How does ROI affect tax planning in Canada?
ROI calculations directly impact Canadian tax planning. Capital investments with positive ROI may qualify for immediate expensing or accelerated CCA deductions under federal incentives. Marketing expenses are generally 100% deductible in the year incurred, improving after-tax ROI. For Ontario corporations, the small business deduction (lower tax rate on first $500K of active income) means higher ROI investments can be more tax-efficient. Insight Accounting integrates ROI analysis with tax planning for businesses across Mississauga and the GTA.
