$60 once · one licence key per person or team seat · 7-day full refund. US immigration counsel charge a flat $2,000 to $5,000 per H-1B cap petition; the median at technology employers is $3,500.
2026 USCIS fee table
Prices the registration fee, Form I-129 base fee, ACWIA training fee, Fraud Prevention and Detection fee and Asylum Program Fee at the amounts in force in 2026, picking the right column for your headcount and nonprofit status.
Barred-fee split
Totals the fees the H-1B rules bar you from recovering from the worker, so the employer-only share of the budget is a line item instead of a footnote.
Stale-table gap
Reprices the same plan on the pre-2024 fee table that most chatbots and old blog posts still quote, and shows the shortfall.
DOL penalty exposure
Multiplies the 20 CFR 655.810(b)(1)(v) maximum civil money penalty by your petition count so the downside of billing a barred fee is a dollar figure.
Export and reminders
The paid layer downloads the per-petition fee schedule as CSV for a board pack and sets a reminder for each filing date you save.

Questions people ask

What does H-1B Fee Split Check 2026 actually do?

You enter your US headcount, petitioner type, how many beneficiaries you will register and how many you expect to be selected. It prices the season on the 2026 USCIS fee table — registration, Form I-129, ACWIA, fraud prevention and the Asylum Program Fee — then splits the total into the part you may never recover from the worker and the rest.

Who is this for?

HR and People Ops leads, startup founders and immigration paralegals at US employers who have to put an H-1B cap season into a budget before the registration window opens. It is built for the person who owns the number in the spreadsheet, not for the attorney who files the petition.

Why can I not just ask a chatbot for the H-1B fees?

Because the fee table moved three times and most training data did not. The lottery registration fee went from $10 to $215, the Form I-129 base fee went from $460 to $780, and the $600 Asylum Program Fee did not exist before 2024. A chatbot quoting the pre-2024 table prices a 25-registration, 9-selection season at $62,890 instead of $76,295 - short by $13,405.

What is free and what costs money?

Every calculation is free, in the browser and in the extension popup, with no key, no limit and no watermark. The $60 licence adds two things on a different axis: CSV export of the per-petition fee schedule so the numbers leave the tool, and a reminder for each filing date you save. Nothing is held back from the answer itself.

What would this cost me to work out another way?

US immigration counsel charge a flat $2,000 to $5,000 per H-1B cap petition, and the median at technology employers is $3,500. Asking counsel to rebuild a season budget is billable time on top of the petition work. The calculation here is free and takes about forty seconds, and the $60 licence only adds export and reminders.
