### Footnote

Organizations should footnote all assumptions used, including the source for the benchmark product/service rate. See usage guidance for further information.

### Usage Guidance

• The price premium is the percentage by which a product's selling price exceeds a benchmark price. The benchmark price is the average price that can be obtained for a similar good or service in the local area.
• An example of how this metric might be calculated: By selling to the organization, farmers get $2/pound for a good (e.g., apples) and only$1 for selling the same good in the local market. The reporting organization would report this as ($2-$1)/\$1 = 1 (or 100%) and would footnote assumptions on how they derived the local market (i.e., benchmark) rate.
