    Capital costs are fixed, one time expenses incurred on the purchase of land, buildings, construction and equipment used in the production of goods or in the rendering of services. In other words it is the total cost needed to bring a project to a commercially operable status.

    What is the capital cost that must be considered for a Project?

    The capital cost of the project :

    In simple words, I am defining here the capital cost of the project.

    Definition :

    The total cost needed to bring a project to a commercially operable is called as the capital cost of the project.


    Capital cost not depend on the following factors :

    • Accounting
    • Tax laws
    • Materiality

    Capital cost includes living expenses :

    • Purchase of plants and machinery
    • Intangible assets like trademarks and software development

    Basically, the capital cost is not limited to the initial construction of a factory.


    Example: fossil fuel power plant’s capital costs include the following;

    • Purchasing the land upon the plant is supposed to be built
    • Permits and legal costs
    • Essential equipment is needed to run the plant
    • Cost involving the construction of the plant
    • Financing and commissioning the plant.
