unit price

In short and in plain language

The unit price is the price for a set amount. Examples are a kilo or a litre.

German price rules often ask for it next to the total price.

This is the case when goods are sold by weight, volume, length or area.

It makes it easier to compare offers in packs of different sizes.

Definition
The unit price is the price per unit of quantity, for example per kilogram or per litre. German price rules often require it alongside the total price when goods are sold by weight, volume, length or area. This makes offers in different pack sizes easier to compare.
