PMI allows PMP aspirants to take up to 3 PMP Exams in the one-year eligibility period, and each exam retake (PMP re-examination or re-exam) costs an additional PMP Exam fee of US$275 (for PMI members) / US$375 (for non-members). The difference of US$150 is enough to pay the first year of the PMI membership fee. The PMP Exam Fee indicated above (US$405) is the official PMP Certification exam fee for the computer based examination (CPT) for membership holders at Prometric exam centres or online.įor non-members, the exam fee is US$555. I can get discounts on my PMP renewal fee and PMI-ACP® Exam fee. The PMI membership fee is my only expenditure for getting education PDUs. I renew my PMI membership every year since the day of getting PMP Certified. (Note: the renewal fee for PMI membership is US$129 per year. I hate to say this but the PMI membership is a real bargain indeed.
