The following table describes the consonants of FUT. A 'spirant' in this usage is a non-sibilant fricative. Under 'approximants', {{UPA|v w j ɦ}} and their voiceless counterparts are 'semivowels', while {{UPA|ɹ ɹ̤}} are 'vibrationless rhotics'. Palatalized consonants are indicated with an acute accent. Only a few are shown in the table; the velar letters with an acute are commonly used for palatal consonants.

When there are two or more consonants in a column, the lowest one is voiced; when there are three, the centre one is lenis or partially devoiced and the top one is fortis or fully devoiced.
{{UPA|ʟ̌ ľ}} (not shown in the table, equivalent to ɬ and ɮ in the IPA) are lateral fricatives. {{UPA|v̌}} (v) and {{UPA|ȟ}} (h) in the table are also fricatives derived from letters for approximants.
* {{UPA|ᴫ л}} are defined as dark alveolars, with {{UPA|ᴌ ł}} being 'half-dark', but other sources define {{UPA|ᴫ л}} as velar. They are distinct in italic typeface, which is the norm for FUT phonetic notation.
Other sources have {{UPA|ᴃ}} and {{UPA|ᴆ}} for fricative {{UPA|ʙ ᴅ}}, and {{UPA|ᴩ ρ}} for the uvular trills.
The Uralic languages transcribed with this system do not contain non-pulmonic consonants except paralinguistically, thus only clicks are supported by FUT. There are two conventions: a leftward arrow, for {{UPA|p˿ b˿ t˿ d˿ ḱ˿ ǵ˿}} etc., and Greek letters, for {{UPA|ᴨ π ᴛ τ ᴋ κ}} etc. Nasal clicks can presumably be written {{UPA|ᴍ˿ m˿ ɴ˿ n˿ ᴎ́˿ ή˿}} etc. under the first convention.
