SG&A expense includes advertising expense, commissions, engineering expense, marketing expense, selling expense including salaries of the salesforce, employee benefit expenses, R&D expenses, software expense, administrative office expense and other expenses related to sales but not included in cost of goods sold.

Averages might be available but cover too broad a field to be useful. SG&A BENCHMARKS is produced for specific industry sectors. The newly released report of the series covers the Health Care sector comprised of six industries. The sector summary chart provides a side by side comparison of 10%ile, median, and 90%ile values for each industry within the sector. For each industry within the sector, individual companies are listed with their 2016 SG&A to Sales percentage and growth rates in sales and spending for 2016. For use in setting and evaluating budgets, estimates are given for 2017 SG&A to Sales percentage and expected growth in sales and spending. To allow for easy identification of relative performance within each industry, individual companies are grouped by size based on sales. The firms are presented in three groups as defined by sales of less than $100 million, sales between $100 million and $1 billion, and sales of more than $1 billion. Since location and annual sales may be of interest, total 2016 sales and headquarters city is listed.
