About LLC Cost Map

LLC Cost Map shows what it really costs to form an LLC in each US state and to keep it running, year after year.

What we do. For every state we read the official fee pages of the Secretary of State and the state revenue department and turn them into one number: what you pay in year one and over five years. Each figure on the site shows its official source and the date we last checked it. When a state page cannot be confirmed, we say so and leave the number out instead of guessing.

Who we are. LLC Cost Map is an independent site run by a small editorial team. We are not a law firm, an accounting firm or a formation service, and nothing on the site is legal or tax advice. For decisions about your own business, talk to a qualified professional in your state.

How we make money. Some links to formation and registered agent services are affiliate links: if you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change our numbers or the order of any list. See our affiliate disclosure.

Corrections. Fees change. If you spot an outdated number, write to [email protected] and we will check it against the official source.
