Added price amounts

Surcharges are extra fees added to a base price.

Airlines add fuel surcharges when oil prices rise.

Credit card surcharges cover processing costs.

The word implies something tacked on—often unwelcome—rather than built into the original price: The bill included surcharges for resort fees and parking.
