Fixed and variable costs

Fixed costs are payments that do not change amount with sales whereas variables costs are payments that can change regularly on the basis of the usage of what you are paying for such as the amount of electricity used in the month.

Semi-variable costs are payments which contain both fixed cost components and variable cost components an example of such cost is mobile phone contracts which have fixed monthly payments but if you go over your limit you have to pay the variable cost to how much gone over.
