Membership Dues and Payments FAQ

Membership dues are $60 USD for each six-month period and are due on April 1 and October 1.

Please note: Effective August 3, 2026, the dues will be $72 USD every six months.

There is also a one-time new member fee of $25 USD. If you join in the middle of a renewal period, you will pay prorated dues based on the month you join.

A Toastmasters International membership costs $120 USD per year—$10 USD per month.

Members develop communication and leadership skills through active learning, including regular speaking opportunities, peer evaluations, and meeting participation. They receive ongoing feedback from fellow members and learn how to evaluate and support the development of others. This experience is not replicated in any other program or course in a similar price range.

Membership also includes access to Pathways, Toastmaster International’s education program, which provides structured learning experiences in communication, leadership, and professional development.

Toastmasters members are part of an organization recognized by professionals worldwide. Participation in the Toastmasters program shows commitment to personal and professional growth, making it a strong resume and networking asset.

This one-time fee supports administrative costs and provides Base Camp system access.

Toastmasters International does not offer discounts for having dual or multiple memberships or provide lifetime memberships to individuals.

If your club has Self-Pay enabled, you can pay your dues by logging into toastmasters.org. After logging in, navigate to “From the Organization to You” and click “Pay Dues.”

If your club does not offer Self-Pay, you can submit your membership dues payment to a club officer to submit on your behalf.

To learn more about Self-Pay and how to enable it, see the Self-Pay FAQ page.

To remain in good standing and keep access to Base Camp, World Headquarters must receive your dues by September 30 for the October cycle or March 31 for the April cycle.

2. Once created, contact the Club Quality and Member Support Team at +1 720-439-5050 and dial Option 4 to submit payment over the phone to ensure taxes are excluded from the total membership dues amount.

It is the Board of Directors’ responsibility to determine the international dues amount, as directed in the Bylaws of Toastmasters International, Article IV: Revenue, Section 2: Membership Dues Payment. Additionally, Policy 8.0: Dues and Fees, Section 10, requires the Board to review the dues, fees, and submission processes annually.

No. As directed in Policy 11.0, the Board of Directors is responsible for approving and overseeing the budget and financial matters. Rather than providing the annual budget, which is a planning and management tool, the organization makes available its annual financial results when filing the United States Internal Revenue Service Form 990.
