Lisäkulua

Lisäkulua is a Finnish term that translates to "additional cost" or "extra expense." It refers to any charge that goes beyond the initially agreed-upon or estimated price for a product, service, or project. These costs can arise for a variety of reasons.

Common causes for lisäkulua include unforeseen circumstances, changes in scope, or additional features requested after the initial agreement. For example, in construction, unexpected material price increases or discovering hidden structural issues could lead to additional costs. In service contracts, requesting extra work not covered by the original scope would also be considered lisäkulua.

Transparency regarding potential lisäkulua is crucial in business and contractual agreements. Reputable providers often outline conditions under which additional costs may be incurred and may require client approval before proceeding with work that generates such expenses. Understanding and managing lisäkulua is important for budgeting and preventing unexpected financial burdens. It is a term frequently encountered in various financial and commercial contexts in Finland.
