- Fixed Costs: These are costs that stay the same over the history of payments. Things like rent, salary, reoccurring office orders, insurance costs, etc.
- Semi-Variable Costs: Semi-variable costs differ over time but not drastically, such as a salesperson’s monthly commission, or utility bills throughout the year.
