Normal costs are approximations of production costs that are calculated using actual material costs, actual labor costs and estimated overhead. The estimate of overhead is typically based on historical averages or predetermined rates. If the estimate of overhead later turns out to be inaccurate, this can be handled as a variance. Normal costs are used to estimate the cost of goods sold and value of inventory.
