retail rates

Consumer purchase prices

Retail rates are prices charged to individual consumers rather than wholesalers or bulk purchasers.

The term appears most often in utilities and finance: The retail rate for electricity jumped this summer.

Retail rates are typically higher than wholesale rates, reflecting the added costs of serving individual customers in smaller quantities.
