सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
This phrase reflects the 'pragmatic' shift in modern Chinese society. While older generations might just say they are being 'frugal' (节俭), the younger generation uses professional terminology to justify spending habits. It is a key part of 'corporate-speak' (职场用语) that helps maintain professional dignity while discussing budget cuts.
The 'Face' Saver
Use this phrase when you want to decline something expensive without sounding like you can't afford it. It makes you look like a savvy budgeter.
Don't be a Robot
In very close friendships, this can sound a bit too cold or 'corporate.' If you're with your best friend, just say '太贵了' (tài guì le).

What It Means
Think of this as your financial shield. It explains that a decision was made primarily because of money. It sounds much more sophisticated than just saying 'it's cheap.' You are showing that you've thought about the budget. It turns a 'no' into a strategic business decision. Even if that 'business' is just your personal bank account.
How To Use It
You usually place this at the start of a sentence. It sets the stage for the decision you're about to share. You can say 基于成本考虑 followed by your action. For example, 基于成本考虑，我们决定坐大巴 (Based on cost considerations, we decided to take the bus). It works like a logical bridge. It connects the 'why' (money) to the 'what' (your choice).
When To Use It
Use it in the office when discussing projects or vendors. It makes you sound responsible and grounded. Use it with friends when you want to decline an expensive plan gracefully. It’s perfect for travel planning or choosing a wedding venue. It also works well when you're explaining why you bought the generic brand. It’s the ultimate 'responsible adult' phrase for your vocabulary.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid using this in highly romantic or deeply personal situations. Telling your partner you chose a cheap gift 基于成本考虑 is a bad move. Don't use it for essential safety matters either. 'I didn't fix the brakes based on cost considerations' sounds terrifying, not smart. Also, don't use it if the cost difference is tiny. It can make you seem a bit stingy or 'small-spirited' (小气).
Cultural Background
In Chinese culture, 'saving face' (面子) is incredibly important. Admitting you can't afford something can feel embarrassing. This phrase provides a 'professional' mask for financial limitations. It shifts the focus from 'having no money' to 'managing resources wisely.' It’s a very common 'corporate-speak' term that has leaked into daily life. It reflects the modern Chinese value of pragmatism and financial planning.
Common Variations
You might also hear 出于成本考虑 (Chūyú chéngběn kǎolǜ). This means 'out of cost considerations' and is almost identical. If you want to be more direct, you’d say 为了省钱 (Wèile shěngqián). That literally means 'to save money.' But 基于成本考虑 is the one that gets you the 'smart manager' vibes. Use it to sound like you have a spreadsheet for everything.
