flat rate
Uniform charge everywhere
A flat rate is a fixed charge that doesn't vary based on usage, time, or quantity.
A flat-rate shipping fee stays the same whether you order one item or ten.
Mechanics sometimes quote flat-rate prices for specific repairs regardless of actual time spent.
The term contrasts with variable or tiered pricing: We pay a flat rate for unlimited data.
