Fixed costs are the ones locked into a given amount – administration, for example, is usually a fixed cost because you don’t fire all your office staff if you go through a bad slump. Paying the electricity is the prototypical fixed cost. Variable costs are the ones that can change completely – selling expenses can be very small (if you don’t advertise) or huge (if you run a superbowl ad and package every widget in a hand-made wooden box). Some of those on your list are neither fixed or variable.

Your fixed costs won’t change in the future and are expenses. Here are the terms, meanings, and a break even calculator….
