Exam fees are a key factor to consider if you are considering the ACCA. Do you have the financial resources? Is the cost of the ACCA affordable? What is the breakdown of the fees?
From student registration to maintaining ACCA membership, we list all the ACCA exam fees in this article (using GBP as the currency). You can check the ACCA exam fee calculator based on your country of residence to get more detailed information.
Fees for ACCA membership and registration
A student must be registered as an active member of ACCA in order to sit for ACCA exams. In other words, you must pay £89 for one-time registration and £112 for annual membership.
You pay 89 pounds and 112 pounds for the first year. After that, you’ll only have to pay the $112 annual subscription fee by January 1 each year.
Even if you do not sit an exam that year, you still have to pay the fee. Taking this step could result in your removal from the student registry and a £89 re-registration charge.
The cost of ACCA exempt status
If you are exempt from an ACCA exam, you must pay an additional fee. The fee depends on the examination level. Exam fees for the Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills exams are £98 and £123, respectively.

Affiliates’ fees for ACCA exams
Members of the ACCA Affiliate program have passed their ACCA exams and the ethics module, but have not yet completed the professional experience requirement. You are required to pay £129 as an annual subscription fee once you become an affiliate.
This status may be held for three years. ACCA affiliate status must be extended after three years at a cost of £258 per year.
Members of the ACCA pay exam fees
You can apply for full ACCA membership once you have completed the ACCA exams, the ethics module, and the professional experience requirements.
It is therefore necessary to pay an one-time fee of £258 per person to become a member. In addition, you must pay £258 annually for membership. As well as the lifetime membership fee of £258, there is the annual commutation fee.
Discounts on certain items
Students around the world should be able to afford ACCA exam fees, but some students might have to pay less.
If you meet certain requirements like long-term unemployment, caring for a family full-time, or studying full-time, you might be eligible for a reduced ACCA membership fee of £58.
