Where These Numbers Come From
Every price is published. Nothing is estimated for effect.
- Formation Service Fee
- $499 (Arizona), $599 (Wyoming), or $699 (Nevada) — covers Articles of Organization, operating agreement, EIN obtainment, and one year of registered agent service. See the full LLC Formation comparison.
- State Filing Fee
- A government fee paid directly to the Secretary of State (or Arizona Corporation Commission), passed through at cost with no markup. AZ ~$85, WY ~$100, NV $500 (exact, includes expedited filing).
- Membership
- $49/year, required for all services. Unlocks the member dashboard, document vault, and support team access.
- Ongoing Annual Cost
- State annual report fee (AZ $0, WY $60, NV $350) plus registered agent renewal ($150/yr after the included first year) plus your membership. Compliance monitoring is optional and billed separately.
What goes into the cost of an LLC?
- Formation fee
- What we charge to prepare and file: $499 Arizona, $599 Wyoming, $699 Nevada. Flat, published, and inclusive of the operating agreement and EIN.
- State filing fee
- Paid to the Secretary of State, not to us. Roughly $85 in Arizona and $100 in Wyoming; Nevada is $500 exactly, including expedited filing. Passed through at cost as a separate line.
- Registered agent
- A required in-state address for service of process. The first year is included in every formation package.
- Annual report
- The recurring cost of staying in good standing. Arizona requires none, Wyoming is $60/year, Nevada is $350/year.
- Year 1 versus ongoing
- Year 1 carries formation plus state filing; every year after is only the annual report and agent renewal. The calculator separates the two.
How do you use the calculator?
- Pick your formation state. If you will operate where you live, that is usually the answer — see choosing a state.
- Add the services you actually need. BOI review, extra registered agent years, or compliance monitoring.
- Read both totals. Year 1 is what you pay now; the ongoing figure is what the entity costs to keep alive.
- Compare states side by side before committing — a cheaper filing fee is often undone by a higher annual report.
Is the calculator's price the price you pay?
Yes. Every figure comes from the published price list. Government fees are shown separately and passed through at cost — they are never marked up, and nothing is added at checkout.
Ready?
Same price we just showed you.
No surprises at checkout.
Membership is $49/year. Formation starts from $499. Government fees are always separate, always at cost.
