You can think of conversion costs as the manufacturing or production costs necessary to convert raw materials into products. Expressed another way, conversion costs are a manufacturer's product or production costs other than the costs of raw materials.
The term conversion costs often appears in the calculation of the cost of an equivalent unit in a process costing system.
