Sri Lanka Accountancy Qualification Cost Calculator

The calculator adds up only the fees the professional body itself charges a student to qualify. Nothing is estimated — every figure is transcribed from the official CA Sri Lanka (ICASL) and AAT Sri Lanka fee schedules. The total is a plain, deterministic sum:

Total = Registration + Σ Exam fees (levels you sit) + Re-sit fees + Annual subscription × years

Each component comes straight from the published schedules:

• Registration — the one-time student registration fee: Rs 3,100 for CA Sri Lanka and Rs 4,500 for AAT Sri Lanka (school students under 19 pay a reduced Rs 4,000 at AAT).
• Examination fees— AAT prices per subject (Rs 2,400 to Rs 3,100 depending on level, four subjects per level), so a level's fee is the per-subject rate times four. CA prices per level examination sitting (Rs 5,200 / Rs 6,200 / Rs 8,200) and adds a mandatory capstone exam at each level (B-CAP, C-CAP, S-CAP), which the tool bundles into that level's cost.
• Exemptions and entry point— starting at a later level skips the earlier levels entirely (no exam fee). An exemption for a level in your pathway removes just that level's exam fee. You still register once and pay the annual subscription each year.
• Re-sits — neither body publishes a separate re-sit rate, so each re-sit is charged at the standard exam fee for a repeat paper. The tool applies a documented representative rate (Rs 2,900 per subject for AAT, Rs 6,200 per level sitting for CA); the exact cost depends on which paper you re-sit.
• Annual subscription — the yearly student subscription (Rs 3,000 at CA, Rs 2,750 at AAT) multiplied by the number of years you expect to stay registered.

Every fee constant is stored in a pure data module with an inline citation to the exact official page and a LAST_VERIFIED date. As an internal consistency check, the module recomputes each qualification's full examination total two independent ways — level-by-level and component-by-component — and the two agree to the rupee (Rs 36,500 for AAT, Rs 47,400 for CA). These are official institute fees only: private tuition, class fees and study materials are unregulated and excluded.

• CA Sri Lanka — Student registration fee & annual subscription
• CA Sri Lanka — Examination fees (level sittings and capstones)
• AAT Sri Lanka — Student registration fee
• AAT Sri Lanka — Examination fees per subject
• AAT Sri Lanka — Annual student renewal fee

Fees were last transcribed from these official pages on 2026-07-04. Professional body fees change periodically; confirm the current figure with the institute before you pay. Overseas virtual examination sittings and the reduced school registration rate are noted where relevant but not the default in the calculator.
