price tags

What shoppers check

Price tags are labels attached to merchandise showing the cost.

Figuratively, a price tag is the cost of anything: What's the price tag on this war?

The singular often appears as an adjective: a $50 million price tag.

To put a price tag on something is to assign it monetary value, sometimes implying that doing so is reductive or crass.
