yksikköhintainen

Yksikköhintainen is a Finnish term that translates to "unit price" or "price per unit" in English. It refers to the cost of a single item or a standard quantity of a product. This is a common metric used in retail and commerce to allow consumers to compare the value of different products or different sizes of the same product. For example, if two brands of laundry detergent are sold in different-sized containers, the unit price helps determine which is more economical by calculating the cost per liter or per kilogram.

Businesses often display the unit price alongside the total price on shelves or online. This practice is mandated in many regions to promote consumer awareness and facilitate informed purchasing decisions. By understanding the unit price, shoppers can avoid being misled by larger package sizes that may have a higher overall cost, even if they appear to be a better deal at first glance. It is a crucial tool for effective comparison shopping and budgeting.
