Unit Cost

Tax Glossary Definition

Unit Cost

Unit cost is the total expense incurred to produce, store, and sell a single unit of a product or service. It includes: Fixed costs: Costs that remain constant regardless of production volume (e.g., rent, depreciation). Variable costs: Costs vary based on Output (e.g., raw materials, labor).

Example: A company manufactures 1,000 chairs. The fixed costs (rent, machinery depreciation) are ₹50,000, and variable costs (wood, labor) are ₹1,50,000. Unit Cost = (Fixed Costs + Variable Costs) ÷ Units Produced = (50,000 + 1,50,000) ÷ 1,000 = ₹200 per chair.
