unsubsidised

Without government support

Not receiving financial support from a government or organization.

Unsubsidised prices reflect actual market costs without artificial reduction: Unsubsidised childcare is beyond what many families can afford.

The term often appears in policy discussions contrasting supported and unsupported services or industries.
