per, each
Synonyms: je, für

Samt Mehrwertsteuer ergibt sich ein Kaufpreis von rund 30 Euro pro Stück
After VAT the price comes to around 30 euros each.

Der durchschnittliche Pro-Kopf-Konsum von Bier in Deutschland im Jahr 2018 summierte sich auf rund 101,1 Liter.
Average beer consumption in Germany in 2018 came to 101.1 liters per head.

Usage notes

Followed by a noun in either the accusative, dative or nominative case. No semantic distinction is made between the cases here. Examples from Duden:
pro gefahrenen / gefahrenem Kilometer ― per kilometer travelled

pro verkauftes / verkauftem Exemplar ― for every copy sold
- The accusative is the most prescriptive and most formal sounding case.
- The nominative is especially popular when a bare noun (i.e. without adjectives or other modifiers) follows the preposition:
  pro Mensch NOM >> pro Menschen ACC / DAT
  
  pro Kollege NOM >> pro Kollegen ACC / DAT
When used in a Latin phrase, the ablative is used according to the rules of Latin grammar: pars pro toto or Pars pro Toto, and pro forma or pro Forma.
