What Is Normal Costing

Normal costing is a standard cost system that accounts for materials, labor, and overhead costs to determine the cost of producing products. It accounts for actual material and labor costs while gathering overhead cost data by multiplying the overhead rate by total production. Normalizing costs allows comparison of total expenses to revenue and helps with creating future projections. Under normal costing, rates are based on anticipated efficiency, while actual costing uses incurred costs, which can result in higher costs per unit if production is lower than expected.

What is normal costing?

Normal costing is a standard cost system that accounts for


materials, labor, and overhead when determining the cost of
producing products. Normal costing accounts for actual material
and labor costs while gathering data about overhead costs by
multiplying the overhead rate for each product by the total
number of products your team produces in a specific time
period. Normalizing costs allows you to compare total
production expense with total revenue. This allows for easy
comparison of current operations with historical production
expenses and can help in the creation of future projections.

Key differences between actual costing vs. normal costing

Here is a description of some key differences between these


two costing methods:

Under actual costing, rates are based on costs incurred, while


in normal costing, rates are based on the anticipated total
efficiency of production. For example, the actual number of
units produced at each rate might be lower than your team
expected, resulting in inefficient use of resources and higher
costs per unit. This makes the calculation of actual costs higher
than normal costs.
