What's the best way to track the Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) from my Meta ads?

I'm running Meta ads for my e-commerce store and struggling to understand how to accurately track and improve my Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). I know ROAS is critical for determining the effectiveness of my advertising budget, but the metrics seem complex and overwhelming. I want to know the most reliable methods to calculate ROAS, what benchmarks I should aim for, and how to optimize my campaigns based on these insights. My goal is to ensure every dollar spent on advertising generates meaningful revenue for my business.
