variable fees
Explanation:
This is one suggestion, though the phrase is also the subject of much controversy in higher education in the UK (as a Google search will show!)

"The Member also agrees to pay fees in respect of such additional services as required from time to time. Such additional fees may be fixed monthly fees or variable fees, depending on the additional services required, and will be calculated in accordance with the current price list."
