Cost of goods sold Calculator

Calculate COGS from stock, purchases and inward freight. This free cost of goods sold calculator shows the calculation and its assumptions so you can compare your own figures.

How the cost of goods sold calculation works

COGS = opening inventory + purchases + inward freight − closing inventory.

Use consistent accounting periods and valuation policies. Outward delivery and operating overheads are not COGS in this simple model.
