premia
Extra amounts paid
Premia is a plural of premium, used especially in British English and in technical financial contexts.
While premiums is the more common plural in everyday usage, premia appears frequently in insurance, economics, and academic writing when discussing multiple premium amounts or types.
The risk premia on emerging market bonds have widened considerably.
Actuaries calculated the annual premia for each policy class.
