included

The word “included” means provided as part of a package or whole, without extra charge. In plain terms, already part of the deal — nothing extra needed.

“Included” is pronounced ihn-KLOO-dihd (/ɪnˈkluːdɪd/ in IPA).

Here is “included” used in a sentence: “Wi-Fi is included in the room rate.”

“Included” is an adjective.

“Included” is a very common word in modern English.

'Included' describes a single item that comes as part of a package, such as when breakfast is included. 'Inclusive' describes the package itself as containing everything, as in an all-inclusive holiday where meals and drinks are covered. So an item is included, while a deal or price is inclusive of those items.

It means you receive that item or service as part of what you already paid, with no separate or additional charge. If a hotel says Wi-Fi is included, you will not see it added to your bill. The cost is already built into the total price you agreed to.

The opposite is 'excluded' or 'not included', meaning the item is left out and must be paid for separately or is simply unavailable. Travel and product listings often use this contrast directly, noting what is included in the price and what is excluded, such as insurance, tips, or optional extras.

Common examples appear in shopping and travel. A phone that ships with a charger included, a rental car with unlimited mileage included, or a meal deal where a drink is included all show the idea: you get the extra as part of the deal at no separate cost.
