How this calculator works

How the math works

Add quoted formation in year 1 and each quoted recurring fee in its verified first due year and at its stated frequency. Add your registered-agent quote yearly and service quote once. Unknown amounts and incomplete schedules are excluded.

Assumptions

  • A standard domestic LLC and timely filings
  • Year 1 is the calendar year of formation
  • Current quoted fees held constant for 1 to 5 years
  • Publication, extra filing charges, variable taxes and expedited filing excluded
  • Unquoted formation fees show no total; unknown does not mean free
