The Series 24 fee, up front

The Series 24 (General Securities Principal) exam fee is $235 as of 2026, paid to FINRA when you enroll — the highest fee among this platform's exams. Firm sponsorship is required. Fees change, so confirm the current fee with FINRA before you register.

What the Series 24 actually costs

Exam fee (as of 2026), paid to FINRA at enrollment.$235
Who pays it: since firm sponsorship is required to register for the Series 24, the sponsoring firm usually covers the fee — so your out-of-pocket is often $0.
Retakes: you pay the full $235 again for each attempt, on top of the required wait between tries.
Before you pay: confirm your eligibility. FINRA's outline and its exam page list different prerequisite registrations for the Series 24 — the two don't match. Confirm directly with FINRA that you qualify before committing to the fee.

The real cost is failing

At $235 a sitting, the Series 24 fee is small compared to the cost of failing: another $235 retake, a mandatory waiting period, and delay in a supervisory role your firm is waiting to fill. That's exactly why good Series 24 prep pays for itself the first time. Not sure the Series 24 is the license you need? Check the license guide or compare every exam's cost.
