I think you're looking for the adjective [**exorbitant**][1]: > (of a price or amount charged) unreasonably high. > *‘some hotels charge exorbitant rates for phone calls’* And yes, it specifically means *unreasonable*, but not necessarily *unaffordable*. In the example sentence I've quoted from the Oxford dictionary, a hotel guest can probably afford to pay a high rate for a phone call, but they find the amount unreasonably high.
