Patente B Cost Calculator
Estimate your total Patente B cost by city, study path, and expected exam attempts — every figure sourced from our published cost breakdown, nothing invented.
Privatista costs are mostly fixed government fees (Motorizzazione registration, stamp duty, exam fees) that don’t vary meaningfully by city — showing the national range for every city on this path.
How this is calculated
All figures come directly from our published, fact-checked cost breakdown — nothing here is invented or estimated from scratch. First-attempt totals and city-specific pricing (Milan, Rome, Turin, Bologna, Naples) are taken directly from the article’s cost tables. Additional attempts add the article’s published re-sit fee ranges once per extra attempt.

How much does Patente B cost in Italy in 2026?
From €536–€1,041 as a privatista (independent candidate) up to €770–€1,440 via an autoscuola, depending on your city and how many exam attempts you need.
Is the privatista route really cheaper?
Yes — you can save €300–€500 by studying independently for the theory exam instead of paying for the autoscuola theory course. Practical driving lessons at an autoscuola are still mandatory on both paths (8 hours under DM 294/2025, not yet applied in practice; some autoscuole still accept 6 hours, so ask yours).
How much does a re-sit cost?
A theory re-sit costs €10–€60 (depending on whether you pay the Motorizzazione directly or through an autoscuola); a practical re-sit typically adds €100–€180.
