incidentals
Small additional costs
Incidentals are minor expenses or items that accompany a main activity but aren't central to it.
Hotel incidentals include room service, minibar charges, and phone calls beyond the basic room rate.
Travel budgets distinguish between major costs like airfare and incidentals like tips and snacks.
The word implies things too small or unpredictable to itemize in advance.
