flat-rate
Same charge always
Flat-rate describes a fixed charge that doesn't vary based on usage, quantity, or time: a flat-rate shipping fee, flat-rate pricing.
The term appears in contexts from taxes to plumbing—a flat-rate plumber charges the same for a job regardless of how long it takes.
The appeal is predictability: you know the cost upfront.
