upcharges
Extra cost additions
Upcharges are additional fees added to a base price for extras, upgrades, or special requests.
Restaurants upcharge for substitutions or premium ingredients; airlines upcharge for seat selection or extra leggage.
The term often carries a faintly negative connotation—the sense that you're being nickel-and-dimed: They upcharge five dollars just for guacamole.
