What is a Non-Operating Expense? A non-operating expense is an expense incurred by an organization that does not relate to its main activity. When analyzing the results of a business, you can subtract these expenses from income, to estimate the maximum potential earnings of the firm. For example, a business would likely list a lawsuit payout as a non-operating expense, so that investors can still see the results of its core operations before the presumably one-time lawsuit charge.
