A little additional context might be helpful, too.
This particular dojo is co-located with a Buddhist temple, where the chief instructor is also the senior Dharma teacher. Sliding fee scales are unusual in the commercial/retail world, but quite common in the non-profit/social services world. Buddhism in particular has a lot of tradition around community support. So I suspect this approach works better in this context than it might in a for-profit dojo with a more "fee for services" attitude.

Thanks for this, it's absolutely correct. The idea is that people paying at the higher end of the scale effectively subsidize those that are paying at the lower end. This helps ensure that no one is financially excluded from training at the dojo.
And Jay was very happy that your Sandan test went so well
