Russian term or phrase: Структура ,%
Hi,

I am translating a Statement of costs and one of the column headings is "Структура ,%". Any ideas what that might mean?

Thanks,

Leah

breakdown
Explanation:
the meaning is probably "breakdown of costs, in terms of percentages"

you do sometimes see "cost structure" or the like in English, but I'm a solid advocate of the more natural "cost breakdown" or "percentage breakdown"

depending on the context, you might just leave it out in an English context, or get away very well with just "percentage"
