Cost-plus pricing*
The price you charge for your product or service determines how protable your
business is, and how customers view your business. It’s one of the most important
decisions you’ll make..
Obviously your prices will need to be high enough to ensure
you cover all your costs and operate at a prot. But there
is more to choosing a price than that. Your pricing strategy
will also be determined by a number of other factors, includ-
ing the prices your competitors charge, prevailing industry
conditions, and whether you plan to position yourself as a
value-for-money supplier, a provider of quality goods and
services, or somewhere in between.

This cost-plus pricing model takes the cost of producing
your product or service and adds an amount that you need
to make as prot, usually expressed as a percentage of the
cost. Cost-plus pricing ignores your business image and
market position and is best suited to businesses with a large
product range and high sales volumes, or markets where
there is a lot of price competition.
