Product Cost of Goods Sold

Terms, metrics, and workflows around Amazon Seller, Vendor, and Marketplace operations.

What it means

PCOGS (Product Cost of Goods Sold) includes direct product costs such as manufacturing, raw materials, and labor, but excludes fulfillment and marketing costs. PCOGS is used to calculate gross margin: Gross margin = (Sale price - PCOGS) / Sale price. Lower PCOGS enables higher margins and better competitiveness. Sellers should continuously reduce PCOGS through supplier negotiations or production optimization.
