Unit Prices and Comparing Value
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) explains that unit prices help consumers compare prices and find the best value for money.
Unit prices show the cost per standard measure, such as per kilogram or per litre, making it easier to compare similar products that come in different package sizes.
Rules for Displaying Unit Prices
There are rules about who must display unit prices, where, how, and for what products.
The ACCC is responsible for enforcing these rules and can provide guidance on how they work.
Reporting Issues
If you have a problem with unit price displays, you can report a consumer issue to the ACCC.
The ACCC also acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Australia and respects Elders past, present and emerging.
