fixed price

Non-negotiable amount due

Fixed price describes a cost that remains constant regardless of other variables.

A fixed-price contract specifies the total payment upfront, protecting both parties from cost fluctuations: We negotiated a fixed-price deal for the renovation.

In retail, fixed price means no haggling—the tag shows what you pay.

Restaurants offer fixed-price menus where one amount covers multiple courses.
