In brief
Known official costs start at ₹39,800 for a student beginning at CA Final, ₹74,000 from eligible Direct Entry or Intermediate, and ₹84,500 from Foundation. These totals exclude private coaching, which should stay quote-required until its subjects, materials, mocks and access period are confirmed.

Methodology
As of September 2026, the calculator adds a selected remaining-route baseline, chosen exam-form contingencies and optional ICAI paid live virtual classes. ICAI’s course FAQ sets the route rules, ₹9,000 Foundation registration, ₹18,000 Intermediate both-groups registration, ₹22,000 Final registration and the training sequence.
The route baselines are arithmetic sums. Foundation is ₹10,500 for Foundation registration plus one exam form, ₹34,200 for Intermediate registration, one both-groups exam form and ICITSS, and ₹39,800 for Final registration, one both-groups exam form and AICITSS. Eligible Direct Entry and Intermediate-start plans use the latter two components, while Final-start plans use the Final component only.
ICAI’s 2026 examination-fee notice supplies ₹1,500 per Foundation form, ₹2,700 per Intermediate both-groups form, ₹3,300 per Final both-groups form, ₹1,500 and ₹1,800 for Intermediate and Final single-group forms, and ₹600 for a late form. The contingency output multiplies each extra-attempt input by its matching both-groups form fee, then adds separate-group and late-form selections.
ICAI’s training-fee announcement lists ₹13,500 for ICITSS and ₹14,500 for AICITSS. ICAI’s paid LVC FAQ lists ₹1,000 for Foundation and ₹2,000 for either Intermediate both groups or Final both groups. Private coaching is deliberately not calculated because its payable scope must be confirmed in a written quote.
