The amount of money for which the company that produces a product recommends that it be sold in stores.

One industry in which MSRP is frequently used is in car sales, where it must be displayed on a sticker on the car's windshield or on a spec sheet on one of the car's windows. The MSRP can help the customer determine a fair price to pay for the vehicle. The concept of MSRP exists in many industries, but outside of the auto industry it often has a different name, such as "list price."
