Price list and invoicing

The prices are effective as from 1 January 2026.

The use of research and microsimulation datasets incurs costs from user licences, datasets and remote access use. In addition, any changes made to the service can be charged separately.

The prices of user licences are outputs subject to public law, on which value added tax is not charged. Other prices are commercially priced chargeable outputs to which value added tax of 25.5 per cent is added. The prices in the price list are shown exclusive of value added tax.

Statistics Finland will re-assess pricing during 2026 and reserves the right to make changes.

Prices of user licences

A user licence is required for the use of research data. The user licence is subject to a charge. The price of a user licence depends on the time spent on preparing the licence.

The processing costs of a user licence are invoiced regardless of whether the application is approved or not. We also invoice any application cancelled or not supplemented after starting the processing.

Changes in the use purpose of the dataset are processed and priced similarly as licences concerning datasets.

No value added tax is charged on user licences.

An hourly price in accordance with the price list valid at any given time is also charged for working time exceeding 15 hours.

User licence related to a thesis

The price of a user licence related to a thesis is EUR 500. The applicant must state in the application that it is a thesis-related licence.

The licence related to a thesis concerns the production of one thesis. If a project produces several theses or other outputs not related to the thesis, a normal or extensive user licence is applied.

The price of a minor change to a licence related to a thesis is EUR 175.

Dataset prices

Ready-made datasets

The price of a ready-made dataset is invoiced when the ready-made dataset is opened for the project. If the user licence has also been granted for such ready-made data years that have not yet been published, future annual updates are invoiced separately.

Dataset updates concerning the entire ready-made dataset population are transferred automatically to the remote access project in accordance with the user licence, and the update is invoiced annually in February.

Concerning ready-made datasets limited by target group, the project must request updated extractions with a separate application through the licensing service. These updates are invoiced according to the annual update price.
