jednotkový

Jednotkové is an adjective in Czech and Slovak derived from jednotka, meaning "unit." It designates something relating to a single unit or calculated per unit. The term is used mainly in technical, economic and statistical contexts to express per-unit measures, costs or prices. It commonly occurs in compound phrases such as jednotkové náklady (unit costs), jednotkové ceny or jednotková cena (per-unit prices), jednotkové množství (unit quantity) and in other per-unit formulations in production and logistics.

In economics and accounting, jednotkové náklady refer to the cost of producing a single unit of output, typically calculated by dividing total costs by the number of units produced. Jednotkové ceny are the prices charged per unit, useful for comparing products with different packaging or sizes. In statistics and quality control, the term can describe measurements or standards expressed on a per-unit basis.

The word is declined like other Czech/Slovak adjectives: it agrees with the noun it modifies. Etymology traces back to jednotka ("unit"), with the productive suffix -kové forming the adjectival compound. While common in formal language, jednotkové is most often encountered in technical, economic or logistical writing rather than in everyday speech.
