baspris

Baspris is a term used in Nordic languages, meaning base price or baseline price. It denotes the starting point for pricing, invoicing, or valuation within a system and often serves as a reference point for calculations of discounts, surcharges, taxes, or regulated pricing.

In commerce and procurement, baspris functions as the standard price before adjustments for volume, customer category, or market conditions. It may be used to calculate net prices after applying margins, rebates, or discounts. In regulated markets, baspris can act as a price floor or reference price to keep prices within defined bounds. In energy markets, baspris is sometimes the baseline price used to calculate tariff components together with variable prices.

Differences across contexts: In retail, baspris often equals the list price. In public procurement, baspris can be the estimated value used to benchmark bids. In taxation or insurance, baspris may be used to determine bases for premiums or taxes.

Etymology and usage: Derived from bas- (base) and pris (price). The term is common in Nordic business and regulatory documents; English equivalents include base price or baseline price. Because usage varies by jurisdiction, the precise meaning should be confirmed in the relevant contract or law.
