Not all business expenses stay the same.
Variable costs change based on how much you sell, produce, or operate.
📊 What are Variable Costs?
They increase as your activity increases — and decrease when you slow down.
📌 Common examples include:
- Raw materials
- Packaging
- Sales commissions
- Delivery fees
- Utility costs tied to usage

🔍 Why it matters:
Variable costs are directly tied to growth.
The more you sell, the more you spend — but ideally, the more you earn.
✅ Knowing your variable costs helps you:
- Price your products properly
- Protect your profit margins
- Scale without surprises
