Polygraph Test Cost and Pricing Guidelines

The long answer: The price of a polygraph test varies based on several factors, like:

• Type of test (relationship, attorney-requested, family, pre-employment, and so on)
• Location and availability
• Issue complexity and time needed
• Number of people being tested
• Single test vs. contract work

That’s why I only provide quotes over the phone, not online.

But while those and some other factors might affect the pricing, my typical lie detector test price ranges between $900 and $1500+, with an average of $1250. This cost reflects a real polygraph exam conducted with professional-grade equipment in a distraction-free location.

Every case is different, and I’ll walk you through what’s involved and what to expect.

Where I Test From and Why I Never Work in Homes

For ethical and accuracy reasons, I don’t offer in-home testing. I test in private, neutral environments like office suites and conference rooms to control distractions and guarantee the integrity of your results.

Photos, children, phones, and unexpected guests can all interfere with results. With me, your polygraph test cost accounts for the setting, equipment, and professionalism required to achieve results with very high accuracy.

What Kind of Tests Do I Offer?

Most exams are specific-issue tests, meaning one question or scenario is being examined. Common cases include:

• Infidelity and relationship testing
• Family lie detector test situations involving trust, accusations, or parenting
• Legal exams that are requested by attorneys
• Business-related investigations
• And more!

I never cut corners. This is why my polygraph test costs are the way they are. I use the most accurate techniques available and follow strict protocols established by the American Polygraph Association.

Payment and Policies

I use PayPal for all payments for several reasons: 

• Security: PayPal requires accountability from its vendors, so even though the lie detector test price may seem high, you know you will receive the services you have purchased.
• Flexibility: You’ll have the flexibility to pay with any major credit card, debit card, or e-check.
• Privacy: Your credit information is only seen by PayPal, which guarantees your financial privacy.

Another aspect to consider about my polygraph test costs and policies is that I am highly mobile for client convenience. This helps me to be flexible and highly accessible and requires me to be efficient in fee collection and scheduling. I wouldn’t be able to keep fees reasonable if an examinee doesn’t show up after I’ve traveled hundreds of miles to their location.

Please note that for these reasons, full payment is required when you book your appointment, and payments are not refundable, so please only schedule if you’re certain you can attend.

I want to work with and for you. I always aim to provide the fairest price for my polygraph exam services—backed by decades of experience and education.

You are always welcome to call for a free consultation just to explore the options. No obligation.
