Nonprofit Audit Cost Estimator
Nonprofits report what they pay for accounting services on Form 990 Part IX line 11c. This tool shows the range for your state and revenue band from 24,761 organizations across 56 states and territories. It is a range from public filings, not a quote.
Form 990 "accounting fees" (Part IX line 11c) cover all accounting services reported by the organization and are not the price of an audit engagement: read the figure as a ceiling on what an audit costs, not as the audit fee. Every organization here filed a single audit, because that is the population this site is built from.
Where does this come from?
IRS Form 990 e-file data, Part IX line 11c, taken from the most recent year in which the organization reported a fee. The figures are medians and quartiles of what organizations reported — no model, no estimate and no adjustment. See how fresh each source is.
What next?
A range is not a proposal. Build an RFP and post it at no cost, or see which firms audit nonprofits in your state. Published fee pages by state carry the same numbers with their method written out.
