incl. stands for Including or included, an everyday abbreviation.
Indicates that something is part of a total or comes with a purchase, as in "price incl. tax" or "batteries incl." It is common on price tags, menus, rental listings and travel deals.
Example: Rent is $1,450 a month, utilities incl., with a 12-month lease.
Usage notes
British and European consumer prices commonly show "incl. VAT" because displayed prices must include value-added tax. Hotels and airlines may list taxes and fees separately, so "incl." claims deserve a close look. The opposite is excl. (excluding).
