Tariffs are funds contributed by users of water, sanitation and hygiene services for obtaining the service (GLAAS, 2012). Users generally make payments to service providers for getting access to the service and for using the service. When the service is self-provided (e.g. when a household builds and operates its own household latrine), the equity invested by the household (in the form of cash, material or time) also fall under tariffs.

Tariffs are generally set by the water or sanitation service provider or by national (or local) governments through national or state policy although . However, the public or private sector can also calculate tariffs for an individual project, sometimes at the community level (Fonseca and Cardone, 2003).

Tariffs are designed for different purposes, and often contain some elements to address poverty.
