It is February 1, and that means we’ve got a TOEFL iBT price increase.  As you can see in the chart below, the price increased in 18 of the countries on the tracker. Note that I only track 60 countries.  I deleted the column showing prices before August 2021, but you can get that information here.

If you are on mobile you will probably have to scroll sideways to see everything.  Sorry.

Update: A chart from July 2022 is now available.

A few observations are worth mentioning:

  • Switzerland remains the most expensive place to take the test, at $335 dollars.
  • The lowest price on the tracker is now $190 (several countries).  It was previously $185.
  • The increases mostly seem to be in developing countries.  There are a couple of exceptions (Israel, Iceland).
  • I don’t have a price for China since ETS doesn’t handle the registration, but I’ll call around in that country to see if the price changed there.
  • I don’t track the price of the TOEFL Essentials Test since no one cares.
  • I don’t think there were any fee increases, but I will keep an eye on the ETS website for those.
