upcharge

Added cost premium

An upcharge is an additional fee beyond a base price, typically for extras, upgrades, or premium options: There's a $3 upcharge for guacamole.

As a verb, to upcharge is to add such a fee: They upcharge for window seats.

The word implies the extra cost is optional—you could avoid it by choosing the standard version.
