Subscription rates
IChemE's subscription year runs from January to December with payment due on 1 January each year. Subscription rates are reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees and are based on membership grade and location.
Please note: we have changed how our subscription bands align with the World Bank's 'country classifications by income level'. From January 2023, those in Country Group 1 pay the Standard Rate for the relevant membership grade, members in Country Group 2 pay Discount Rate 1 (at approximately 65% of the Standard Rate), and those in Country Group 3 pay Discount Rate 2 (approximately 40% of the Standard Rate). More information on these changes can be found in our Fact Checker.
