Upcharge

Upcharge is used as the billing counterpart to marketing's upsell.^[1][2]\\

The term may refer to:

• Paying a smaller increment in price for a larger increase in what is received; in another it means paying an increase for a non-standard arrangement,^[2] what one writer called "upcharge money."^[3]
• A convenience fee:^[4] a pharmacy that carries basic grocery items and charges higher prices for the non-pharmaceutical one-stop-shopping items.^[5] While a surcharge is part of what must be paid, an upcharge is not always unexpected,^[6] and usually can be declined by rejecting the additional service or the suggested upgrade, albeit receiving less.^[1]

The practice of amusement parks to charge both for admission and then for individual rides may be described as "Upcharge attraction".^[7]

The term upcharge is sometimes used as a synonym for charge or surcharge.^[8]
