Enter the cost of direct materials, cost of direct labor, and overhead costs into the calculator to determine the total manufacturing cost.

## Total Manufacturing Cost Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the total manufacturing cost.

MC = RM + DL + OH
• Where MC is the total manufacturing cost
• RM is the raw material cost
• DL is the direct labor cost
• OH is the manufacturing overhead cost

To calculate the total manufacturing cost, add together the raw material cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead cost.

## Total Manufacturing Cost Definition

A total manufacturing cost is the sum of the cost of raw material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.

## Total Manufacturing Cost Example
