FDA user fees for FY2027
The small business column applies once FDA approves your SBD and your gross receipts or sales, including affiliates, are $100 million or less. It comes to 25% of most fees and 50% for 30-day notices and 513(g) requests. At $30 million or less, the fee for your first premarket approval (PMA), PDP, BLA or premarket report is waived.

The calculator adds up FDA user fees. It does not decide your pathway or how many submissions you need, and it does not request the SBD for you. The total is an estimate, not an invoice: FDA sets the amount on your user fee cover sheet.
What OVA does here, and where our responsibility ends
We design the electronics, firmware and mechanics of medical devices and take them from concept to design for manufacturing. We are not a regulatory consultancy and not a contract manufacturer: the regulatory strategy and the submission stay with you or your regulatory consultant.
The result is an orientation, not a regulatory opinion. Confirm the pathway and the fees with a regulatory specialist or through a Pre-Submission (Q-Sub) with FDA. The tool runs in your browser. Your answers are not sent to us; with your cookie consent, Google Analytics records only that the tool was used and the category of the result.
Questions
How long does an SBD take?
FDA aims to decide within 60 calendar days, and until then you pay the standard fee. So request it in the CDRH Portal before you submit.
When do I pay the user fee?
At or before the time you send the submission. Without full payment, FDA considers the submission incomplete and does not start the review.
Do small businesses pay less for establishment registration?
No, everyone pays $13,785 in FY2027. FDA may waive the annual fee, though not the initial one, if your gross receipts are $1 million or less and paying it is a financial hardship. FDA says the only case it currently knows is active bankruptcy.
How much is the De Novo fee?
It is $191,020 in FY2027, or $47,755 with an approved SBD.
Does the calculator include development costs?
No, it counts only FDA user fees. Test labs, clinical studies and engineering usually cost more than the fees, and our cost calculator estimates the engineering by phase.
