Your numbers
Type the fee you pay, how many attempts you want to plan for and the date of the first one. The page does the arithmetic with the owner's wait. Nothing you type is saved or sent. This shows what you would pay and wait if every attempt but the last did not pass. It does not say how likely that is.
- Attempt 1, fee $44
- Attempt 2: wait 0 days after the last one, fee $44
2 attempts: fees add up to $88, and the waits add up to 0 days.
Florida Department of Financial Services and Pearson VUE: If you fail, you reapply with Pearson VUE and pay another non-refundable fee. The handbook states no fixed waiting period. It does limit you to five attempts for the same exam type in a 12-month period. Read October 18, 2026. Owner page. The owner states no fixed wait, so 0 days is used; check the owner page for current scheduling rules. Confirm Florida Life and Health fees and waits on the owner page before you pay.
Fees we do not list
These are left out of the total because we could not confirm an amount from the owner. The total is a floor, not the whole cost.
Renewal fee: not published
The DFS fee page lists no standard renewal fee, only a $25 late fee per renewal appointment, so we publish none.
Appointment fee: not published
DFS lists a $60 resident appointment fee paid through eAppoint. The page does not say who pays it, so we leave it out of the total.
How the total is built
The total is the sum of the lines above for the first three years after you pass. Fees that repeat for each attempt are paid again for each retake you choose. Fees that fall due on a cycle are counted when they fall due inside the three years. Course and study costs, travel and state fees we do not list are not included. Fees change, so confirm each on the owner page before you pay.
