[edit] Common business term

I've added this stub because this is a common business term with a specific meaning in business. I realize there's a heavy overlap with fixed costs, but the term overhead has common use in business, and I can't find it clearly defined anywhere in Wiki for someone who hasn't the foggiest idea what it means.

im sorry but it should remain seperate —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.188.180.1 (talk) 16:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. Overhead and fixed costs are common, yes; however, overhead refers specially to costs for maintaining property and fixed costs do not change with volume of sales. If any changes should be made, overhead should become a subcategory of fixed cost. Sources: Fixed Cost definition Overhead Cost definition -Sp0rk.me.with.a.knife (talk) 00:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the articles need to be kept seperate, if only because overhead has several meanings. AnthonyUK (talk) 21:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
