COGS done right

COGS includes the direct cost of what you sold: stock purchases, freight-in, direct labour, packaging. It does NOT include rent, salaries (unless directly tied to production) or marketing.

Recording COGS correctly is the difference between knowing your real margin and guessing it.

Worked examples

Revenue 1.2m, COGS 800k
  • Gross profit = 400,000 · Gross margin = 33.3%

Frequently asked questions

Is rent COGS?
No. Rent is an operating expense, below gross profit.
Are wages COGS?
Only direct production wages (chefs in a restaurant). Office and sales staff are operating expenses.
How is COGS calculated?
Opening stock + purchases − closing stock = COGS.
Why is gross margin volatile?
Cost changes, sales mix and discounting all affect it. Veira reports it weekly.
Does Veira compute COGS automatically?
Yes. Every receipt + every stock movement updates COGS in real time.
