About LLC Setup Cost

LLC Setup Cost is an independent English-language reference for the cost of forming and maintaining a limited liability company in the United States. We publish state-by-state filing fees, periodic report fees, and franchise or privilege taxes with links to official sources.

Our goal is practical budgeting information — not legal, tax, or financial advice. Fee schedules change; always confirm amounts on the Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, or tax agency page we cite before you file.

How we research fees

• Prefer primary sources: state filing-office fee schedules, official forms, and statutes.
• Record a checked date on each state page.
• Only include a state in the homepage comparison table after we verify it.

Independence & monetization

This site may earn affiliate commissions when you use links to formation or registered-agent services. That does not change state fees owed to the government. Read our affiliate disclosure and privacy policy.

We are not a law firm, tax advisor, or formation company.
