basisprijs

Basisprijs is a Dutch term that refers to the base price of a product or service. It denotes the price as stated before adding taxes, delivery charges, discounts, or optional extras, and it often serves as the starting point for pricing and comparison. In many contexts basisprijs is close to the list price or sticker price, though terminological usage can vary by sector and retailer.

In retail, the basisprijs is the amount on which promotions and discounts are calculated, rather than the final price paid by the consumer. The final price shown to customers typically includes value-added tax and any mandatory charges, and may differ from the basisprijs due to promotions or packaging.

Basisprijs can also refer to the base rate used in pricing contracts, such as energy, telecommunications, or service agreements. In these cases the basisprijs provides a reference level, with additional costs based on usage, duration, or selected options.

Related terms include list price, etikettenprijs, verkoopprijs, gross price, and net price. Understanding the basisprijs helps consumers compare offers and assess value, while regulators in many jurisdictions require clear disclosure of the final price and any additional charges.

Examples: A car priced at 25,000 euros with optional features shows a basisprijs of 25,000; adding options and taxes yields the final price.
