unit price
Cost per piece
Unit price is the cost per single unit of measurement—per ounce, per pound, per item.
Grocery stores display unit prices on shelf tags to help shoppers compare value across different package sizes: The larger box costs more, but the unit price is lower.
In contracts and invoices, unit price specifies the rate for each item purchased.
