但上海新东方专家预测，新托福在内地的收费将和香港相等，即为140USD。
在此官方申明中，ETS对此做出了如此的讲解：引入新托福（托福 Internet-based test）的要紧目的之一在于可以最大可能地促进考试场地的建设，从而很大地增加学生参加新托福考试的机会，进而尽量地降低学生参加考试的各种本钱和花费，比如交通成本等。而国际学生进入到美国大学学习的一个要紧障碍就是资金的问题，而这里面又包含了入学标准考试（如托福、GRE）的成本问题。有的时候这类资金问题甚至比其他问题所带来的妨碍用途还要看上去紧急。
正是基于如此的认识，ETS筹备在全球引入有差别的考试成本体系。也就是说，将来全球各地参加新托福考试的成本是不同的，而如此成本的不同，主如果反映了考试当地的经济进步水平：即当地经济进步水平越高，大家对考试成本的敏锐性较弱，相应的收费会高中一年级些；而假如当地经济进步水平较低，大家对考试成本的敏锐性较强，相应的收费也会随之低一些。不过ETS在其官方申明中也指出，如此的有差别收费体系仅仅局限于2006年6月30日之后的新托福考试，在此之前的新托福考试和老托福考试（包含computer-based and paper-based versions）仍然保持140USD的全球统一怎么收费。并且此类有差别体系也不会，至少现在不可能同时推广到诸如GRE此类的规范考试当中。

ETS Introduces New Pricing Structure for 托福@ iBT
ETS is committed to providing applicants1 with access to 托福? testing worldwide. One of the goals of the new 托福 Internet-based test is to significantly increase the number of testing locations where examinees can take the test, thereby2 reducing or eliminating travel time and cosplayts.
Financial accessibility is another important goal. Students planning to study abroad sometimes face considerable financial obstacles in pursuing an international education, including admission testing, tuition, textbooks, and housing. In some areas, students have more financial challenges than others.
ETS is introducing a differential pricing structure for 托福 iBT test fees. 托福 iBT test fees will vary by country, based on where the test is administered. While ETS is aligning3 托福 iBT test fees more closely to administration cosplayts, every attempt is being made to remain sensitive to local economies. In some countries, the fee will be increased, and in others, the fee will remain unchanged. The new test fee structure only applies to 托福 iBT tests taken after June 30, 2006, regardless of the registration4 date.
Select the country where the test will be administered to view the test fee. The 2006-07 test fee for the computer-based and paper-based versions of the 托福 test will remain at the current price of $140
