What is opportunity cost and how do I calculate it?

Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative that you give up when making a decision. To calculate it, identify the options, determine the benefits of each, and subtract the value of the chosen option from the value of the next best alternative.

Can you give me an example of calculating opportunity cost?

Sure! If you have $100 and you can either invest it in stocks that yield a 10% return or keep it in a savings account with a 2% return, the opportunity cost of choosing the savings account is the $8 you would miss out on from the stocks.
