Using the calculators, the state guides, or the filing-fee data on this site means you accept the terms below.
The LLC Cost Calculator, LLC Tax Calculator, and LLC vs Sole Proprietor Calculator model formation costs and tax outcomes using published state filing fees and standard tax formulas. They are planning tools built to get you a close number fast, not a substitute for filing paperwork or preparing an actual tax return.
Nothing here is legal or tax advice for your specific situation. What an LLC costs, how it is taxed, and whether it is the right structure for you depend on your state and facts a general tool cannot know. Talk to an attorney or CPA licensed in your state before you file.
State filing fees change, sometimes with little notice. We source and refresh the filing-fee dataset behind this site's calculators on the schedule described on the editorial standards page, and we correct errors once they're flagged. Even so, the site is provided as is, with no guarantee that a given fee matches what your state charges the day you file.
We are not liable for penalties, lost time, or other loss connected to relying on an estimate from this site instead of your Secretary of State's own published figures.
Some outbound links, mainly to registered-agent and formation services, are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you sign up through one; it does not change the price you pay.
We may update this page as the tools or the site change. Continuing to use the calculators after an update means you accept the new version.
