How much does the Series 6 exam cost?
Verified from FINRA, last checked 2026-05-30. Quick answer below, then the full breakdown.
The Series 6 exam fee is $100, payable to FINRA when your sponsoring firm opens your testing window through Prometric. This covers one attempt. Most candidates do not pay out of pocket because the sponsoring broker-dealer typically covers the fee for new producers.
The Series 6 exam costs $100 per attempt. Here is the cost picture:
Exam Fee: $100 (paid to FINRA)
Retake Fee: $100 per attempt
Who pays: Usually your sponsoring firm
Things to know:
- Series 6 candidates must be sponsored by a FINRA-member broker-dealer (see sponsor requirement)
- Career insurance firms and bank wealth desks almost always reimburse new-producer exam fees
- Self-paying is rare because you cannot register for the Series 6 without firm sponsorship in the first place
- Rescheduling fees are separate (see reschedule policy)
The fee has been stable for years but can change. Verify current pricing on the FINRA Series 6 page before your firm schedules you.
