What you pay
Costs are expenses—the money, effort, or resources required to obtain or accomplish something.
In business, costs include materials, labor, and overhead: We need to cut costs.
Legal costs are fees for litigation.
The phrase at all costs means regardless of sacrifice required.
To cost is to require expenditure: The renovation cost us fifty thousand.
