US Company Cost Calculator (Non-Resident)
A quick, honest estimate of what a single-member US LLC costs to open and keep — state charges, the EIN, and common add-ons for non-resident sellers. C-Corporation fees depend on state-specific corporate and capitalization rules, so that selection returns a scoped quote instead of an invented LLC-based total.
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 recurring state requirement keeps it in good standing every year after (Wyoming's $60 annual report minimum, Delaware's $400 annual LLC tax with no annual report, Florida's $138.75 annual report). The EIN itself is free. For applicants who cannot use the online route, the current Form SS-4 instructions say fax can generally return an EIN within four business days when a return fax number is provided, while mail should be started four to five weeks before the number is needed. Processing can vary; a service fee pays for preparation and follow-through, 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.
