Cost includes the company expense to bring the product to market (material cost, labor costs, transportation costs, operating expenses). Price represents the amount a customer pays for that product or service. The difference between the price that is paid and the cost that is incurred is the profit.

Estimated cost is that the sum of all cost you put to deliver the product or service.

When you sell that product or service , you will add margin / profit to gain money.That Cost plus margin is called Price .

Estimated cost means developing the approximate cost of completing the entire project or part of it. It is the expected quantitative result. Price is the amount a customer pays for that product or service or the amount of money the organisation will charge to deliver the project.

The price associated with a project is quite different that the price for a product. Usually a product has a firm price, or at least a firm price list.

A project's price will depend on risk variables, including contract type. The more risks borne by the project team, the bigger the margin you need to add to your cost to set the price.
