About the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) Calculator

Cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct cost of producing or purchasing the inventory a business actually sold during a period — it excludes indirect costs like marketing, rent or administrative salaries.

Formula: COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchases − Ending Inventory

COGS is the key input for calculating gross profit and gross margin, and it directly affects taxable income, since it's deducted from revenue before operating expenses are considered.
