Friends of mine who have practiced in dojos overseas, particularly in the U.S., tell me that they used to pay probably 2x to 3x the numbers you gave. No~~~!! I cannot imagine anyone paying more than that?
If there're other places on earth that charge a lot less... that'll be considered a rip-off!

At the moment I'm in UK. There're their fees:

KA annual =USD$46 (student 1/2 price!!)
Club practice (twice a week) annual =$300
or around $6 each class

Grading: (Menjo =$15)
Shodan=$23
Nidan=$31
Sandan=$38
Yondan=$46

Taikai entry fee=$7, spectators=free

I'm desperately trying to take as many grading as possible in this country!! .....I won't be able to afford a second chance if I fail even one grading in HK!

***
The Kendo association can make a big profit if they:
1)pass everyone on lower ranks
2)fail everyone on higher ranks
because it costs more for higher ranks!!

(Wait..... This is not very original.... they're already doing that!!)
