An operating expense (OpEx) is a cost a business incurs through routine functions necessary to run day-to-day operations, such as salaries, rent, and marketing, reported on the income statement. Accountants and financial analysts distinguish operating expenses from capital expenditures because they are fully deductible in the period incurred and directly affect net income.
