Fixed Cost

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » Fixed Cost

A fixed cost is an expense that remains constant regardless of the level of production or sales volume within a specific period. Unlike variable costs, fixed costs do not fluctuate with business activity levels and include expenses such as rent, salaries, and insurance. These costs are essential for budgeting and financial planning, providing stability in cost accounting.
