There's a cost to keeping a roof over your head.
OVERHEAD 経常経費、諸経費
- Overhead refers to the regular and continuing costs of running a business that are not directly connected to the production or sale of a business's goods or services. This includes costs such as rent, gas and electricity, maintenance, and insurance, but NOT the cost of labor, materials, or administration.
- overhead とは、事業を営むのにかかる経常的な費用で、企業の商品やサービスの生産や販売に直接関係のないもののことです。例えば、家賃、ガス・電気代、修繕費、保険料などが含まれ、労働力や資材、事業の運営にかかる費用は含みません。
- We're always looking for new ways to keep our overhead low. For example, by switching to an Internet phone service, we were able to save about $600 a month in long distance charges.
- If you were to weatherproof your office and switch to energy-efficient LED lighting, you could probably reduce your annual overhead by about 10%.
- I pay about $5000 a month to rent my space at the mall. Jessica, on the other hand, is a freelance writer working out of her home and has almost no overhead costs.
Mind your (over)head!
