The list price is the recommended selling price for a product, usually set by the manufacturer or supplier as a guideline for the market. The list price has a commercial reference and may therefore differ from the actual selling price. Due to this commercial markup, the list price is generally higher than the cost price.

The cost price includes the total production costs of an item, including materials, labor, machine costs, and any overhead, thus forming the basis for pricing and margin analysis. The cost price determines the lower limit for profitable sales.
