flat rates
Uniform pricing structure
Flat rates are fixed charges that don't vary with usage, time, or quantity.
A flat rate for shipping costs the same whether the package weighs one pound or five.
Professionals may quote a flat rate for a job rather than billing hourly: The plumber charges a flat rate for drain cleaning.
The term emphasizes predictability—you know the cost upfront.
