I was wondering how to domain registars set their pricing? Is there some guidelines or something. I want information on this if possible.

no, its just abt their expenses and they set a profit upon it

All domain registrars will have to first register at ICANN.org by paying some amount of money. Then, every domain they register, they'll have to pay ICANN a stipulated price. They are free to fix the price of domains they sell.

Join the club! Ha ha

FEES as to the best of my knowledge.

25K USD or more for startup as a ICANN accredited domain seller,

and 20 cent's icann fees which they clearly take from each customer as a seperate fees.
