no charge
On the house
No charge means free—no payment required.
It typically describes goods or services offered without cost: The consultation is no charge, They fixed it for no charge.
The phrase often appears in commercial contexts where payment would normally be expected, distinguishing a complimentary item from the regular transaction.
