Registration fees (2026 pricing)

Levels I & II: US$1,140 early / US$1,490 standard. Level III: US$1,240 early / US$1,590 standard. CFA Institute removed the old one-time US$350 enrollment fee starting February 2026 — you now only pay the per-level registration fee. Total cost across all three levels runs roughly US$3,420–4,520 depending on how early you register each time.
