fixed fees
Predetermined service costs
Fixed fees are charges that remain constant regardless of usage, time spent, or other variables.
A lawyer might quote a fixed fee for drafting a will rather than billing hourly.
Fixed fees offer predictability for both parties—the client knows the total cost upfront, and the provider commits to delivering the service for that amount.
Also called flat fees.
