Within User Owned theory, Price is the amount a consumer pays when buying a product.

Price = Profit + Cost

Profit is the non-negative difference between that price and the production Costs that the owners of Physical Sources have already paid.

Notice that Wages are a Cost, so keeping Price perpetually above Cost is not required except in systems such as Capitalism where it is used as a measurement of success.
