'''Variable costs''' are [[expense]]s that vary directly with the size of a firm's output. As output increases over the range of [[production]], the variable costs increase. Variable costs include raw materials, labor, fuel, and wear and tear on equipment. Costs which do not change with the size of a firm's output are [[fixed costs]].
