How to calculate the cost of maintaining a website?

Question

Electronic accounting

Development, optimization, new features, hosting, energy, servers and other equipment. Design, managers? Accountant?
In general, the question is for those who have their own product, I'm interested to know what the money is spent on.

Answer 1

First of all, you don't have to put everything together.
If you don’t put it together, then 3 main branches will stand out:
1. Website hosting is renting or buying servers, depreciation of equipment, licenses for a server OS, electricity (if you have your own DC), renting domain names, certificates, and so on. Well, salary for admins
2. Website development - these are developers, designers, project manager, software licenses for developers, etc.
3. Costs - this is where the accountant comes in. Here, in general, everything that does not affect the final product, but at the same time, the company cannot work without it. Here you can, for example, record cookies with tea in the office.
Well, there are also capital (one-time purchase of something) and operating (regular expenses) expenses
