Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from 'price' (cost) plus 'bracket' (a range or category): together they denote a category or range of prices. This noun–noun compositional pattern (e.g., 'age bracket', 'income bracket') is productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Price bracket comes from the idea of a bracket — a mark or holder that groups things — around a price range, like drawing a box around numbers to show they belong together. So price bracket means a 'range' of prices that are grouped together.
