Free calculator for bookkeepers. The rate table below is kept updated with verified US QuickBooks Online prices. Pick a plan and how many company files you manage to see the new monthly and yearly cost from August 1, 2026.
Passed straight through, that is about $45 more per client on your next invoice, rounded up to a clean number. Not sure that number is defensible on its own? Run it through the pricing calculator to sanity-check your full fee against the work involved.
Starting August 1, 2026, Intuit is raising QuickBooks Online subscription prices, and the Plus plan is going up from $99 to $140 a month, about 41% higher. To keep covering the software cost, I'm adjusting your monthly bookkeeping fee by $45 starting with your next invoice. This covers Intuit's price increase only, the scope and quality of the work stay exactly the same. Happy to answer any questions.
Plus across 1 file at the new Aug 1, 2026 rate.
Solo plan (up to 5 clients).
Passing the $45/client bump through on 1 file covers the Clerai plan with room to spare.
Clerai connects to your existing QuickBooks Online subscription through secure OAuth (never storing your bank logins), reads your transactions, and writes approved categorizations back — an additive layer on top of QuickBooks, not a replacement. You'll keep paying Intuit; this is what Clerai costs on top.
A planning estimate from publicly reported list prices, not a bill. Discounts, promotions, and ProAdvisor rates vary; confirm current pricing with Intuit before you invoice a client.
US monthly list prices: Simple Start moved from $35 to $38, Essentials from $60 to $85, Plus from $99 to $140 (about 41% higher), and Advanced from $200 to $340 (about 70% higher). Per Intuit's Firm of the Future pricing update, corroborated by Certum Solutions and School of Bookkeeping. Changes land on each subscription's next billing date from August 1, 2026.
It delays it rather than avoiding it. Annual billing locks your rate until renewal, and Intuit gives new subscribers roughly six months of price protection before the new rate applies at the seventh invoice. Either way, the list price at your next renewal reflects the new pricing.
Be upfront and tie it directly to Intuit's list price change, not your margin. Send a short note before the new invoice goes out rather than letting them discover it. Use the copyable note above as a starting point and adjust it to your voice.
No. This is an independent tool built by Clerai. The rate table is sourced from Intuit's own public pricing announcements and reputable accounting-firm summaries, not from Intuit directly. Check quickbooks.intuit.com for current, authoritative pricing before you invoice a client.
Payroll and Workforce per-employee pricing is also changing around the same period, but the old-versus-new figures reported across sources conflicted enough that we could not verify a clean table, so it is left out here rather than guessed at. Confirm current payroll pricing directly with Intuit.
No. Clerai connects to your existing QuickBooks Online subscription through secure OAuth (never storing your bank logins), reads your transactions, and writes approved categorizations back into QBO — it's an additive layer on top of QuickBooks, not a replacement for it. You'll keep paying Intuit for QuickBooks itself; Clerai's fee is separate and covers the AI categorization, client chasing, and close-checklist work layered on top.
It reuses the company files number you entered above and matches it against Clerai's real plan tiers — Solo (up to 5 clients), Starter (up to 15), Growth (up to 40), and Scale (unlimited, sold hands-on) — recommending the smallest self-serve plan that covers that count. No separate client-count input needed.
