Definition
高额 (gāo é) means 'high amount' or 'large sum', typically used for money, costs, or fines. It is less extreme than 巨额 (jù é), which emphasizes an enormous, often staggering sum. Unlike 大宗 (dà zōng), which refers to bulk quantities of goods, 高额 is specifically about monetary or financial amounts.
