Membership fees and reduced membership fees

You can pay the annual membership fee, 484 €, in one or two installments (February and April). Male sure to use the reference number in all installments. The membership fee is personal and deductible in personal taxation.

The FMA forwards to the tax authorities records of all membership fees payed in during the year. The tax deduction covers roughly one half of the fee.

You can apply for a membership fee reduction if you are unemployed, on sick leave, on family leave, abroad or retired.

If you are a student member, have graduated within the year or are 85 years of age or older, your membership fee is reduced automatically.

Please contact the membership services for more information.

Keep your info up to date

You can access and update your membership information in the Tietoni-system. Keeping your info current is important so all important communications reach you. 

Also, remember to join the unemployment fund LL-kassa in case of unemployment.
