If you are brand-new to TUG, you can use the simplified trial membership form, the full form below to pay with PayPal, or the alternate membership form to pay with a credit card, as you prefer.
By joining TUG you support the use and development of (La)TeX and friends, including the TeX software distributions. Additional benefits include the journal TUGboat and myriad discounts. All TUG memberships are for the calendar year, so you get the same benefits whenever you join.
For 2026, all new individual TUG members will be automatically entered into a lottery with one winner for each of these items: History of Desktop Publishing, by Frank Romano; and Indie Fonts 2, a compendium of digital type from independent foundries.
Membership dues are generally tax deductible (at least in the USA), less value of benefits, which for this year is calculated as $45, or $15 if the electronic option is taken (all amounts in US dollars). Additional donations are generally fully tax deductible (again, at least in the USA). More info on TUG's tax-exempt status.
To pay with a credit/debit card instead of PayPal, please click here for our alternate membership form. The form on this page collects payment information using PayPal. We use PayPal by default since it provides basic contact information so you don't have to re-enter it, and it's less expensive for TUG. But please, by all means, use whichever payment method you prefer.
