Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) measures the direct costs attributable to the production of goods sold by a company during an accounting period. It includes direct raw material purchases, freight-in costs, and direct factory labor, while excluding indirect administrative overhead like sales marketing and executive salaries.

COGS is a fundamental component of the corporate income statement. Subtracting COGS from gross sales revenue yields Gross Profit. Our COGS Calculator implements standard GAAP/IFRS inventory formula logic.
