I personally rarely add any extra expenditures unless completely necessary. When I used to work inhouse corporate I would occassionally see invoices by studios or illustrators which included: project management fees or studio fees such as scanning/printing or billing for reference material. I think in some cases it was just silly relative to the amount and type of material they were producing and such costs sometimes annoyed our project managers leading to us not considering these studios and creatives for rehire. I think its important to make those decisions wisely. If you just negotiated a higher pay rate to do the project tacking on additional expenses seems tacky..when you negotiate you should calculate your overhead costs to a degree. If you know you are doing a project under budget for someone and can tack on a fee to cover costs that makes sense. Point being it's important to choose your battles when making these types of judgements rationally case by case getting paid and compensated is primary but maintaining a good working relationship with clients by staying in budget can lead to longterm stream of reliable work.. just my two cents.
