Cost of sale and overheads
Cost of sale (also known as Cost of Goods Sold or CoGS) is how much it costs you to make a sale.

You can even break it down to calculate the cost of sale of individual units.
Overheads are general business expenses. They can’t be tracked directly to sales. Overheads are what it costs you to open your doors (whether online or actual) every morning.

Every dollar you can pull back from your costs can go straight into cashflow. Whether your sales are boom or bust, you want to make sure that your costs aren't holding you back.
