renewal fees

Payments extending validity

Renewal fees are charges paid to maintain or extend something that would otherwise expire—a subscription, license, membership, or registration.

Domain names, professional certifications, and gym memberships all carry renewal fees.

The term often appears in contexts where people feel trapped: The renewal fees keep going up, but switching providers is too much hassle.
