2. How much does membership cost?

Upon joining Toastmasters, you will pay three different fees. The first is the $17.24 new member fee paid in order to receive educational materials. The second amount is International dues, $3.00 per month. The third is your club dues, if any. All Toastmasters clubs are billed in March and September for semiannual dues for members wishing to remain members for the next six months. If you join between those periods, you submit a pro-rated share of the dues. Clubs usually charge dues on top of the International dues. This way, the club will have enough money in the treasury for its expenses. Each club decideds what members are charged. Some clubs waive the club dues for new members and only assess them at the semiannual dues payment dates. If you join at the following times, you'd owe:

Month Joined Materials    TI Dues Club Dues
April or October $17.24 + $18.00 +    Club Dues
May or November $17.24 + $15.00 + Club Dues
June or December $17.24 + $12.00 + Club Dues
July or January $17.24 + $9.00 + Club Dues
August or February $17.24 + $6.00 + Club Dues
September or March    $17.24 + $3.00 + Club Dues


Then, once you're signed up, the cost is $18.00 plus club dues every six months, collected in September and March.

Note: Due to California law, members of clubs in California pay sales tax on their new member fee ($16.00 plus $1.24 state sales tax).
