# About Unit Costs in Bramble

Learn about the Unit Cost report.

The Unit Cost metric within the [Process module](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/6966102-the-process-module-in-bramble.md) is used to determine how much each [Production Task](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/6930805-what-is-a-production-task.md) costs in relation to the Process Cost.

_An example of the Unit Cost report displaying:_

-   _the average Unit Cost across all Processes_
    
-   _the Unit Cost by specific Process (displayed in the table)_
    

When combined with the Labels functionality in Bramble, the Unit Cost reporting allows you to review process and unit costs functionally - that is, without being constrained by organizational hierarchy.

Unit Cost is calculated in Bramble by accounting for the following inputs:

-   Fully-Loaded (hourly) rates,
    
-   the [Contribution](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/6965420-what-is-contribution.md) of in-scope groups/individuals and,
    
-   the touches required to take a process from inception to completion
    
-   the number of 'Key Tasks' completed
    

'Key Tasks' in Bramble can be defined as the final step in a process. Total touches are derived from all the Production Tasks completed in order to move the Process from inception to completion (of the Key Task).

The report can be cut by a variety of filters, allowing for analysis by:

-   Process Chain(s)
    
-   Process(es)
    
-   Team
    
-   Continuous Improvement Category
    
-   Production Task.
