Cost Per Unit: How to Calculate It in Upstack

Cost Per Unit is the average product cost of each unit sold. Upstack doesn’t ship it as a single measure, but you can build it as a custom measure from the measures it does have.

Formula

Cost Per Unit = COGS ÷ Units Sold

Build it as a custom measure

In a custom dashboard, open Custom Measures, set the format to Currency and the period total to Average, then enter:

orders.cogs / orders.units

Average makes Upstack divide the period totals, instead of averaging a ratio for each day. See Custom Measures for the builder.
