admin fee
Paperwork cost extra
An admin fee is a charge for administrative work—processing paperwork, maintaining records, or handling an account.
The term appears in contracts, billing statements, and service agreements: There's a $50 admin fee to set up your account.
Admin fees are sometimes criticized as hidden charges that pad the bottom line without providing clear value.
