Period expenses are costs that are not directly tied to the production of goods or services and are incurred over a specific period, usually within an accounting period. These expenses include items such as rent, utilities, and salaries for administrative staff. Unlike product costs, which are capitalized as inventory until sold, period expenses are expensed in the period they are incurred, impacting the income statement directly. They help businesses assess profitability and manage operational costs more effectively.

It typically encompasses the amount of these resources consumed over a specific period, which is then measured for billing purposes. Understanding utilities consumption is important for managing costs, promoting energy efficiency, and assessing environmental impact. Monitoring consumption patterns can also help identify opportunities for conservation and sustainability efforts.
