State App fee Renewal Net worth Surety Note
California $7,500 $2,500 $250,000 $500,000 - $2,500,000 Fixed amount

DFAL security is DFPI-determined under Fin. Code 3207(a), $500,000 initial planning anchor; upper band adds the MTA bond near $2,000,000 if dual licensing applies during the PRO 02-23 transition.

Florida $375 $750 $100,000 $1,000,000 - $1,100,000 Volume percentage

2% of the scenario's $50,000,000 annual volume equals exactly $1,000,000, which lands squarely on the Form OFR-560-07 rounding table's $950,001 to $1,000,000 band, so the computed security device is $1,000,000.

Texas $10,000 $11,033 $100,000 $500,000 MTMA style

100% of the $2,000,000 average daily outstanding liability figure is $2,000,000, which exceeds the $500,000 statutory ceiling, so the computed bond is $500,000 (or a flat $100,000 if tangible net worth exceeds 10% of total assets).
