What Is Operating Expense (OpEx)?

Operating expenses are the day-to-day costs incurred to run a business, excluding direct production costs, such as salaries, rent, utilities, travel, and administrative expenses.

How OpEx Is Managed

OpEx is managed through budgeting, approvals, and monitoring. Businesses categorise expenses and track them against budgets to control costs and maintain profitability.

Why OpEx Matters

OpEx directly impacts margins and profitability. Uncontrolled operating expenses can erode financial performance even when revenue is growing.
