Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate COGS percentage?

Divide cost of goods sold by sales revenue, then multiply by 100. $60,000 of COGS on $100,000 of sales is a 60% COGS rate.

COGS Percentage

Is COGS percentage the same as cost of sales percentage?

Usually yes. Businesses may use COGS or cost of sales depending on the industry, but the ratio is the direct cost of what was sold divided by revenue.

COGS Percentage

How does COGS percentage relate to gross profit percentage?

If gross profit equals sales less COGS, the two percentages are complements. A 60% COGS rate means a 40% gross profit rate.

COGS Percentage

Should overhead be included in COGS percentage?

Not general overhead. COGS should contain direct costs of producing or buying what was sold. Rent, office salaries, software and general administration are normally tracked separately.
