LLC formation cost calculator

See what the same basket costs with each service: formation, EIN, operating agreement and registered agent, with yearly renewals. State fees, licenses and taxes are left out because they don't depend on who files.

Estimates from published prices and terms, before state fees, annual reports, licenses and taxes. Your order can differ; check it before you pay. This is not legal or tax advice.

Estimates based on the prices in our catalog (each service's own site unless the source says otherwise). Prices a service doesn't publish are flagged, never counted as $0. State fees, annual reports, licenses and taxes aren't included. This is a cost comparison, not legal or tax advice.

The package price is only the start. This calculator adds up the same basket for every service, using the prices each one publishes:

  • the formation package, paid once, or the yearly subscription when the service sells it that way;
  • getting the EIN and an operating agreement, when they don't come with that package;
  • the registered agent, every year;
  • the early termination charge, if you pick a month to leave and the service has one.

When a service includes the first year of registered agent, the estimate still counts that year and shows the included year apart, as a promotion. Optional services and free trials, like websites, business addresses or legal plans, are listed on each pricing page but not added, and they renew unless you cancel them.

State fees, annual reports, licenses and taxes aren't included: they don't depend on who files. The methodology shows them for our reference state. The IRS issues the EIN for free if you apply yourself.

When a service doesn't publish part of its pricing, you'll see an "incomplete" label instead of an exact number. This is an estimate, not a quote, and not legal or tax advice.
