kuludega

Kuludega is an Estonian phrase meaning "with costs" or "including costs." It is formed from the noun kulud (expenses) with the adessive plural ending -ega, indicating that the listed amount covers related expenses. The expression is used in pricing, quotes, invoices, and contracts to show that the stated price includes additional charges or costs.

In practice, kuludega appears in statements such as price quotations or tender documents where it is important to communicate that costs like transport, taxes, handling, or service charges are already included. The exact scope of included costs depends on the contract or accompanying documentation, so clarifications may be provided in a separate itemized section or in terms and conditions.

Kuludega is a functional, context-dependent expression rather than a fixed line item. Its meaning can shift based on what is stated alongside it, which is why many Estonian contracts and quotes specify the included cost components explicitly to prevent ambiguity. In procurement and service agreements, it is common to pair kuludega with references to what is included or to list potential additional costs that could be charged separately.

See also terms commonly used in pricing language, such as lisakulud (additional costs), ja maksud (and taxes), and kulude eraldi arvestus (separate accounting of costs). For clarity, many documents also present a breakdown of costs in a dedicated section to confirm which items are covered by the kuludega price.
