How much are Tae Kwon Do gradings?

Answer 1

Belt test fees will vary from school to school. Here are some examples from contributors

• $15.00 (East Texas)
• $40.00 (Portland, Oregon)
• $50.00, color belt fees (Wisconsin)
• $100.00, black belt fee (Wisconsin)
• $200.00, second dan (Wisconsin)

Some Taekwondo schools do not charge a test fee for grading, but usually cover the cost of providing certificates and belts through either higher tuition, or registration fees. The cost of running a legitimate business will vary depending on location and current economic conditions. Fees will often reflect both the necessity for paying bills, and the level of knowledge and credentials provided by the instructor. If the school is part of a larger organization, test fees might be required or standardized, and portions of the fees go to support the affiliation with the association or federation.
