The table below lists the user fees for each program.Each year, FDA adjusts its user fees based on factors such as inflation and the number of applications or establishments expected to pay the various fees; this year’s update has more significance as it marks the start of the new five-year user fee programs.
For FY2023, FDA’s fee for new drug applications (NDAs) and biologics license applications (BLAs) are set to go up 4% while certain biosimilar applications are set to go down about 17%.
