no more no less

That amount only

Exactly that amount or degree, neither exceeding nor falling short.

The phrase emphasizes precision or finality: He paid what he owed, no more no less.

It can also assert something's essential nature without embellishment: She's a survivor, no more no less.

Sometimes hyphenated when used as a modifier: a no-more-no-less arrangement.
