fixed prices

Non-negotiable cost tags

Fixed prices are set amounts that don't change based on negotiation, market fluctuations, or other variables.

A fixed-price contract locks in costs regardless of what happens during the project.

Stores with fixed prices don't haggle: The sticker price is the fixed price—take it or leave it.

The term can also refer to illegal price-fixing, where competitors secretly agree to keep prices artificially high.
