cost breakdown

Expense by category

A cost breakdown is an itemized list showing the individual components that make up a total price or expense.

Businesses provide cost breakdowns to show clients where money goes: The contractor's cost breakdown showed $12,000 for materials and $8,000 for labor.

Budget analyses typically include cost breakdowns by category or department.
