To put it simply, Cost of Goods Sold is exactly what it sounds like. It is the combined direct costs accumulated and used to create any product that is sold, like an expense. When you sell a product and earn revenue, you must subtract the Cost of Goods Sold to determine your gross margin. If COGS per item is higher than the price a product sells for, every product would be sold at a loss.
