What Is Unit Price?

Unit price is the cost per standard unit of measure — such as per ounce, per kilogram, or per item — calculated as total price divided by quantity. It allows products of different package sizes to be compared on the same basis.

Example

A 500 g pack for 4.00 costs 0.80 per 100 g; a 750 g pack for 5.25 costs 0.70 per 100 g, so the larger pack has the lower unit price.
