undercharging

Asking too little

Undercharging is charging less than the appropriate or expected amount.

A business might be undercharging for services and losing money as a result: We've been undercharging for years—no wonder we're barely breaking even.

The term can also refer to insufficiently charging a battery or electrical device.
