Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate total expenses:

Total Expense = Fixed Costs + (Variable Cost per Unit × Quantity)

This formula helps you understand the total cost of producing or purchasing a certain quantity of items by considering both fixed and variable costs.

Example

If your fixed costs are $500, variable cost per unit is $10, and you are producing 50 units, your total expense would be:

$500 + ($10 × 50) = $1,000
