How do you calculate direct labour cost as a percentage of cost of good sold?

To calculate direct labor cost as a percentage of cost of goods sold (COGS), first determine the total direct labor costs associated with production during a specific period. Then, divide this amount by the total COGS for the same period. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage. The formula is: (Direct Labor Cost / COGS) x 100.
