How is COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) Calculated?

Learn how your COGS is calculated in Finmark.

Updated over a week ago

In Finmark, we automatically calculate your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) based on your payroll and non-payroll expenses mapped to departments mapped to COGS sold.

When getting started with Finmark the departments that are automatically mapped to COGS are defined as the Operations and Technical Support Departments.


If you would like to customize the COGS Departments, go to the Settings Section and Click the Pencil Icon to the right of the title Departments. This will allow you to customize the departments you define as COGS.

The Formula for COGS is the following:

Non-Payroll Related Expenses (Mapped to COGS) + Payroll Related Expenses (Mapped to COGS)
