US Company Cost Calculator (Non-Resident)
A quick, honest estimate of what a US company actually costs to open and to keep — the state fees, the EIN, and the add-ons non-resident sellers usually need. Pick a state and the extras that apply; all figures are as of 2026.
What's in these numbers
The state filing fee is a one-time cost to form the company (Wyoming $100, Delaware $110, Florida $125, as of 2026). The annual report or franchise keeps it in good standing every year after (Wyoming $60, Delaware's $300 LLC franchise tax, Florida $138.75). Your EIN is free — the IRS never charges for it; without an SSN you file Form SS-4 by fax or mail and allow roughly 10 to 14 days or more. Anyone charging you for the EIN itself is charging for the errand, not the number.
The add-ons are the ones non-resident sellers usually need. A registered agent is required in your formation state; the fee shown is a typical market range. A virtual address gives you a US mailing address — useful, but remember it cannot produce a utility bill, which matters for Amazon verification. The Amazon Professional plan is Amazon's own monthly subscription, shown here so the full picture is honest.
