Price per 1000ml is either euro or dollar?
Displayed cost per model is in GBP
Actual displayed cost is miles out?
Bottle cost 25 per 1000ml
Part usage 6ml part cost 6 pounds sterling? that makes cost per ML 1 pound which means the software thinks a 1000ml bottle cost a 1000 pounds?

In UVtools settings is displayed as €.
In status bar is show as configured on your OS regional symbol, which in your case is £.
Either are just a representative of currency and it doesn't matter for the program -- it does not do any conversions.
As so, just input the raw value in your currency. Ie: If you pay 25 £ per a 1000ml bottle, input in UVtools settings "25".
However, that setting is only for files that lack the price information to be able to compute a price estimate. That is not the case with Anycubic files and so such setting is unused. It come from slicer which in your case lychee, and as other reported it's a bug where is set incorrectly there. UVtools just loads and display the value, and scale it accordingly if you add or remove pixels, but in a fresh load you get all raw values from slicer.
Remember that UVtools is not the slicer, in firsthand it loads all data from a sliced generated file, as so most if not all in some cases of the information you see was set by slicer and not UVtools.

To test the theory of slicer, do same slicing on Chitubox and open in UVtools, see what value you got and report back.
