### Footnote

Organizations should footnote all assumptions used, including how the similar, local product/service and price were selected.

### Usage Guidance

• This metric measures the price discount/savings as a percentage compared to a similar product/service.
• For example, if the organization's product costs $5 and the average price for a similar product is$10 in the local market, this would be calculated as: ($5 -$10)/ \$10 = -0.5 or 50% savings. Negative numbers can be interpreted as savings to the consumer (client).
