Operational expenditure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operating Expenditures, commonly referred to as OPEX, are the on-going costs for running a product, business, or system. Its counterpart, Capital Expenditures (CAPEX), refers to the cost of developing or providing non-consumable parts for the product or system. For example, the purchase of a photo copier is the CAPEX, and the annual paper and toner cost is the OPEX. For larger systems like businesses, OPEX may also include the cost of workers and facility expenses such as rent and utilities.
