What Business Roundtable costs
Business Roundtable does not publish its fees. What is known — including figures reported by named publications, clearly marked as such — is set out below.
An initiation fee is paid once. Dues recur — usually annually, sometimes monthly. Many chapter-based organizations charge chapter dues on top of national or global dues, and retreats, travel and events are almost always extra. A figure marked “reported” came from a publication, not from the organization.
Published and reported fees
| Cost | Amount | Provenance |
|---|---|---|
| Annual dues | Not publicly disclosed. Business Roundtable publishes no dues schedule. Its IRS Form 990 for the 2023 tax year reports about $63.4 million of programme service revenue on total revenue of about $64.5 million, which is consistent with dues funding but does not establish a per-member figure. | Source ↗ |
| Initiation fee | Not publicly disclosed |
No dues figure is published by the organisation. Some member companies disclose payments to Business Roundtable in their own annual trade-association disclosures, but those filings typically report only the non-deductible lobbying portion rather than total dues.
