Why calculate COGS?

High COGS means lower profit margins. Tracking this helps you price products correctly and identify supplier issues.

Direct Margin Analysis

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) measures the direct costs of producing the products sold by your company. This includes material costs and direct labor, forming the baseline for every financial model.

Supply Chain Reality

Factoring in freight, customs, and direct raw materials is vital for accurate COGS reporting in 2026.

Tax Compliance

Accurate COGS directly affects your taxable income. Over-reporting can lead to audits; under-reporting leads to lost cash flow.

Inventory Turnover

A high COGS relative to inventory isn't always bad—it often implies high inventory turnover, meaning you're selling stock as fast as you can produce or buy it.
