Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

What is SG&A?

The sum of all direct and indirect selling expenses and all general and administrative expenses of a company.

SG&A stands for Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. The sum of all direct and indirect selling expenses and all general and administrative expenses of a company.

The term matters when teams need a shared definition across planning, finance reviews, sales reporting, and weekly execution conversations. Without a common definition, the same metric can drift in meaning across functions.

Inside OKRindo, SG&A is most useful when it is tied to a decision. Use it to review progress, surface risk early, and choose the next action with clearer context.
