LLC Cost Calculator

Pick your state and see what an LLC actually costs — the first-year total, the recurring report cost, and a five-year projection — computed instantly from our 50-state fee dataset. No sign-up, nothing saved.

How the calculator works

The numbers come straight from our 50-state dataset: each state's one-time Secretary of State filing fee, its recurring report fee, and how often that report is due (annual, biennial, or none). The first-year figure adds a report fee only if one is due in year one; the five-year projection counts every report due over five years at your state's cycle. Special costs — California's franchise tax, New York's publication requirement, Nevada's formation bundle, and Texas/Alabama tax returns — are flagged separately so the comparison stays honest.

Planning your business?

Knowing the real cost up front — first year and ongoing — helps you budget before you file. Browse the full per-state breakdown or read our plain-English guides to LLC costs.
