MARGINAL UTILITY
Additional satisfaction that a customer derived from buying one more unit of a commodity or service, given that all other factors are still constant.

Positive marginal utility signifies consuming an additional item increases the total utility. On the other hand, negative marginal utility means the consumption of another item decreases the total utility.
Also called marginal benefit.
