Lipid Panel Cost (2026): Cholesterol Test Prices by Seller

What a lipid panel costs on its own, seller by seller, with each required fee added. Every price read on November 7, 2026 from the seller's page.

Cost

Quick answer
A lipid panel costs $10 all in at Own Your Labs, the lowest total we could confirm on November 7, 2026, and up to $65 at Quest, fee included. The test price at the cheapest stores is $8 to $10, so a flat per-order fee often costs more than the panel itself.

This page covers prices only, and it does not explain what your numbers mean: reference ranges differ by lab, and reading a result is a clinician's job. For what the panel measures, see our lipid panel guide. Every service is scored on the best blood tests page, and broad panels are on our price page.

Goodlabs Lipid Panel $8 A lab fee per visit, amount not published, per its FAQ List price plus its lab fee 7 Nov 2026

Everlywell's row is an at-home finger-prick kit, the version we could read on its list, so its sample type differs from the rest. Personalabs' product adds an LDL/HDL ratio, which is arithmetic on the same results. Own Your Labs lists two more lipid variants with ratios at the same price.

Inside a broader panel

Almost every broad panel includes a lipid panel, so it rarely makes sense to pay for one alone if you are also buying a panel. It is on the lists of Vitals Vault Essential at $99, WHOOP's Basic panel at $69 and Function Health at $365 a year. For ApoB and Lp(a) on their own, see our ApoB cost guide and Lp(a) cost guide. Our cost per biomarker guide compares the broad panels.

How to read the table

The rows are sorted by what one order costs once a required fee is added, because the lowest test price is not always the lowest total. A flat per-order fee weighs heavily on one cheap test and less on a cart of ten. If you plan to buy several tests, add their prices and count the fee once.

We read each price on the seller's own page on November 7, 2026, and each price links to that page. Some pages show a higher struck-through price beside the current one. We record only the current price, and we do not treat the difference as a saving. Promo codes and subscribe prices are left out. Goodlabs does not publish its lab fee on the pages we read, so its rows sit at the bottom without a total.

Who is on this table

This table covers stores that sell single tests online. Own Your Labs, JustLabs and Discounted Labs appear here for their single-test prices, but we do not score them, so they have no review page. Own Your Labs draws at Labcorp, JustLabs at Quest, and Discounted Labs did not name a lab on the page we read. Dirt Cheap Labs says on its own site that it has closed, so it is not listed.

We do not rank these rows beyond price, and we have not bought any of these tests.

Questions

FAQ

How much does a lipid panel cost without insurance?

From $10 all in at Own Your Labs on November 7, 2026, to $65 at Quest. Use the last price column on the table, since fees change the order.

Is a cholesterol test the same as a lipid panel?

Sellers use the names for the same kind of test, and a standard panel reports total, LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Some add ratios, which are arithmetic. Our lipid panel guide covers the parts.

Do I need to fast for a lipid panel?

Sellers state their own preparation on the product page, so follow what yours says, and ask a clinician if you are unsure. We cover prices here rather than preparation.

Do I need a doctor to order a lipid panel?

Most sellers here include an order from their own physician network. State rules apply, and New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island restrict direct-access testing.

What do my cholesterol numbers mean?

We do not interpret results. Labs print their own reference ranges, and a clinician who knows your history can explain yours. This page only compares prices.
