Phenom 300 Price: New 300E, Used Market and Hourly Cost of the Best-Selling Light Jet

A new Embraer Phenom 300E costs about $11 million at list, according to Safe Fly Aviation, but a buyer joining the queue today is quoted more: jetAVIVA’s August 2025 market report put open new-delivery positions above $14 million, with slots running into the first quarter of 2028. A used Phenom 300 trades from about $6 million, and chartering one costs roughly $3,000 to $4,500 an hour, per Mercury Jets and Jettly.

This guide splits the Phenom 300 price into the three questions people really have: buying new, buying used, and paying by the hour. The Phenom 300 family is also the market leader. Aviation International News reported in February 2025, citing GAMA data, that the Phenom 300 was the top-delivered light jet for the 13th year running, with 65 delivered in 2024.

Embraer Phenom 300 Price New

Embraer does not publish a price list, so every new-aircraft number is a reported one. The sources below disagree by a few million dollars, and the gap is explained by the date and by what is included.

300E List Price, Reported

Safe Fly Aviation puts list pricing in the region of $11 million for a new 300E. AOPA’s aircraft guide shows a lower new price of $9,650,000, which looks like an older base figure. Private Jet Card Comparisons lists $13,900,000 for a new Phenom 300.

The price a buyer pays today sits higher. jetAVIVA’s report of August 1, 2025 says open delivery positions for new 300E aircraft are priced above $14 million, and pricing reflects expected inflation escalation. The honest answer: about $11 million is the long-quoted list figure, and $14 million-plus is what a near-term slot costs. Embraer does not state a base price publicly, so treat each number as an estimate.

What Changed From the 300 to the 300E

The 300E is the “enhanced” airframe. Aviation Week says the original 300 used Garmin G1000-based avionics with three 12.4-inch displays, while the 300E carries a G3000-based touch flight deck with three 14.1-inch displays and two touchscreen controllers. Starting in 2020, the 300E could use PW535E1 engines, which raised takeoff thrust from 3,360 lb to 3,478 lb, and it has a high-speed cruise of 464 knots, per Aviation Week and Embraer. The 300E was announced on October 9, 2017 and first delivered on March 29, 2018; the “Enhanced” version was announced in January 2020 and first delivered on June 26, 2020, per Aviation Week.

Options

The invoice depends on avionics options, interior and delivery position, per Safe Fly Aviation. We found no sourced figure for a typical options package, so we do not print one. Ask a broker for a completed price on a specific aircraft, not the base.

Used Phenom 300 Price

The used market is split by age. jetAVIVA’s August 2025 snapshot is the clearest breakdown we found.

Model and year	Typical price	Source
Early Phenom 300 (2010 to 2013)	$6 million to $8 million	jetAVIVA, August 2025
Later Phenom 300 (Garmin G3000, forward divans)	Often above $8 million, some near $9 million	jetAVIVA, August 2025
Early Phenom 300E (2018 to 2020)	$9.5 million to $12 million	jetAVIVA, August 2025
Enhanced Phenom 300E (2020 onward)	$12 million to $13.5 million	jetAVIVA, August 2025

Year, Hours and Engine Program

jetAVIVA lists what moves the price: airframe years and hours, engine program enrollment, avionics and cabin equipment such as Wi-Fi, interior and paint condition, and whether the aircraft has a US registration, which buyers favor. The report describes the market as split: late-model aircraft with good equipment sell at premium prices, while older, higher-time examples trade softer.

Phenom 300 for Sale: Where Listings Live

Listings for a Phenom 300 for sale sit on broker sites, aircraft marketplaces and dealer pages. Prices on those are asking prices. Use the jetAVIVA bands above to judge whether an ask is realistic. If you are comparing it with other options in this budget, our guide to the best private jets under $20 million lays out the field.

Phenom 300 Operating Cost

Buying is one number. Flying is the other, and it is where the jet either fits your use or does not.

Charter per Hour

Charter is how most people meet a Phenom 300. Mercury Jets says to expect about $3,000 an hour for the Phenom 300 family, while Jettly’s guide puts typical on-demand pricing at roughly $3,500 to $4,500 an hour. All of these exclude taxes, fuel surcharges and positioning, and every broker says the final price depends on route and date. Treat them as marketing estimates and ask for a written quote.

Fractional and Jet Card Pricing

Fractional programs use the Phenom 300 widely. Private Jet Card Comparisons says NetJets had 167 Phenom 300 and 300E aircraft as of December 2024, and lists Flexjet, Wheels Up and Airshare among the operators. The same publication reported in January 2025 that the NetJets Card275 on a Phenom 300 costs $8,600 an hour including the 7.5% federal excise tax, or $215,000 for the 25-hour minimum. See our full NetJets cost guide for the program itself.

Fixed Annual Costs and Single-Pilot Certification

Owner costs include a crew, hangar, insurance and a maintenance program. We have no sourced fixed-cost figure we can print, so use our cost of owning a private jet breakdown as a framework.

The Phenom 300E is certified for single-pilot operation, according to Mercury Jets, and AOPA’s guide links it to its single-pilot directory. For an owner who flies, that can mean one less salary. A charter or fractional flight is usually crewed by two pilots; the Mercury Jets page does not say which applies. For what pilots earn, see private jet pilot salary.

Phenom 300 Specs

Spec	Phenom 300E	Source
Range	2,010 nm (long-range cruise, 5 occupants, NBAA IFR reserves)	Embraer Phenom 300E brochure
High-speed cruise	464 knots	Aviation Week
Takeoff distance, max weight, sea level	3,209 ft	Embraer Phenom 300E brochure
Landing distance over 50 ft	2,212 ft	AOPA aircraft guide
Maximum altitude	45,000 ft	Aviation Week
Seats	Up to 9, per Mercury Jets; 10 per AOPA	Mercury Jets; AOPA

The 3,209 ft takeoff figure is why the jet can use small airports. Our guide to how much runway a private jet needs explains the factors behind it.

Phenom 100 Price and the Step Up

The Phenom 100 is the smaller sibling. Aviation Week reported the Phenom 100EV list price as $4.49 million in 2017, unchanged in 2022. Used examples trade well below that, depending on year and hours. Moving up to the 300 roughly doubles the purchase price, and it buys a bigger cabin and longer range, per the figures above.

Phenom 300E vs Pilatus PC-24

The closest comparison we can source is the Pilatus PC-24. AOPA’s aircraft guide lists the PC-24 at $11,134,960 new, with a takeoff distance over 50 ft of 2,930 ft and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft.

	Phenom 300E	Pilatus PC-24	Source
New price	$9,650,000	$11,134,960	AOPA aircraft guide
Cruise speed	464 kt	440 kt	AOPA aircraft guide
Takeoff distance over 50 ft	3,209 ft	2,930 ft	AOPA aircraft guide
Landing distance over 50 ft	2,212 ft	2,375 ft	AOPA aircraft guide
Service ceiling	45,000 ft	45,000 ft	AOPA aircraft guide

Verdict: the Phenom 300E is faster and cheaper on AOPA’s figures, while the PC-24 needs less runway to take off. Pilatus is built for rough and short strips; Embraer is built for speed and sales volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a used Phenom 300 cost?

A used Phenom 300 costs about $6 million to $9 million, and a used 300E costs about $9.5 million to $13.5 million, according to jetAVIVA's August 2025 market report. Price depends on model year, hours, engine program enrollment and equipment such as Wi-Fi.

How much is a Phenom 100?

Aviation Week reported the Phenom 100EV list price as $4.49 million in 2017, and the figure was unchanged in 2022. Used Phenom 100s trade for less than a new one, and model year, airframe hours, engine program enrollment and avionics are what move the asking price.

Can one pilot fly a Phenom 300?

Yes, the Phenom 300E is certified for single-pilot operation, according to Mercury Jets, and AOPA links it to its single-pilot directory. Charter and fractional flights are usually flown with two pilots, and the pilot must hold the right type rating and training.

How far can a Phenom 300 fly?

A Phenom 300E can fly 2,010 nautical miles at long-range cruise with five occupants and NBAA IFR reserves, according to Embraer's brochure. That covers New York to Los Angeles with little margin, so plan a fuel stop on the longest routes.

How much does NetJets charge for a Phenom 300?

Private Jet Card Comparisons reported in January 2025 that a NetJets Card275 on the Phenom 300 costs $8,600 an hour including federal excise tax, or $215,000 for 25 hours. The higher-access Card320 was $11,200 an hour. Confirm current rates with NetJets before you buy.
