Plan the cost before you apply
Florida contractor licensing cost calculator
Florida contractor applicants. Confirm your licence category, application route and exam parts with DBPR. Other states use different requirements.
There is no single total that fits every applicant. Obtain current quotes, distinguish required fees from optional preparation, and check who pays each charge before entering it below.
DBPR Construction Industry requirements →Build your quoted budget
All amounts are USD. Blank means unknown, not free. Enter 0 only when confirmed not applicable. Include taxes where relevant, avoid duplicate package fees, and use the same planning period for recurring costs. Values stay on this page and clear on refresh.
Avoid double-counting your costs
If a hypothetical course package costs $300 and already includes $50 of materials, enter $300 for education and $0 for those included materials—not $350. These are illustrative amounts, not published fees. Include separate exam charges only when they are not already included in your quote.
What needs separate confirmation?
Check current DBPR financial responsibility requirements for your application. Do not assume every applicant needs a bond, or treat a bond’s face value as a fee. Confirm insurance, application charges, exam registration and any testing-provider charges separately.
This calculator does not determine eligibility, tax deductibility or the price a regulator will charge. It does not save your budget to an account. Recheck fees before payment and budget for renewals separately.
