Enter the variable cost and total output/quantity into this average variable cost calculator to evaluate the ratio of cost to output.

## Average Variable Cost Formula

The formula for calculating the average variable cost of an item or business is as follows:

AVC = VC / Q
• Where AVC is the average variable cost
• VC is the variable cost
• Q is the total output

To calculate the average variable cost, divide the total variable cost by the total output.

## Average Variable Cost Definition
