Verditillegg

Verditillegg is a Norwegian term used in business and economics to describe an added value or premium incorporated into the price of a product or service beyond its base cost. The concept captures the value created by factors such as higher quality, brand strength, design, service, or customer experience that justify a higher price to buyers.

In pricing and marketing, verditillegg serves to communicate the extra value delivered to the customer. It is often used in pricing strategies to position a product as superior or differentiated, and in product development to reflect enhancements that increase willingness to pay. The idea is not only about cost recovery but about capturing perceived or real value that customers assign to the offering.

In corporate valuation and mergers and acquisitions, verditillegg can refer to a premium paid above the standalone asset value, arising from anticipated synergies, strategic advantages, market position, or control. This is sometimes described as a price premium rather than a formal accounting item, and its size can be subjective and market-specific.

Relation to other concepts varies by context. Merverdi and added value are closely related terms, but verditillegg is often used to denote the price premium associated with added value rather than the intrinsic value alone. It is not a standardized accounting measure, but a descriptive notion widely used in pricing, branding, and valuation discussions.

Examples include software with extended support and updates, premium vehicles with enhanced features, or a strong brand that commands a higher price due to perceived quality. See also premium pricing, value-added services, and brand value.
