What does a U.S. LLC cost?
Separate what you pay today from costs due in your first and following 12 months.
At formation
Start with the state filing charge. Add any filing service and optional products. The government fee and the amount shown by a provider can differ because of processing charges.
After formation
Check annual state taxes or reports, registered agent renewals and any recurring mail service. Use the formation date to put the first due date in the correct budget window.
Costs outside the estimate
Budget separately for tax preparation, licenses and registration in any other state where you operate. IRS EIN applications are free; paid assistance is optional.
