Example Calculation

Let's calculate the cost to form and maintain an LLC in Florida.

Forming a single-member LLC in Florida: state filing fee $125, registered agent service (~$125/year), EIN from IRS (free), and a DIY operating agreement (free, or $500-$1,500 with an attorney). Florida's annual report/franchise tax is $139/year.

Result: Year 1 total: approximately $250 (plus any optional attorney fees). Ongoing annual cost: approximately $264/year. Nationally, filing fees range from $35 (Montana) to $500 (Massachusetts) and recurring state costs range from $0 (several states) to $800/year (California) — so Florida's cost may be far cheaper, or more expensive, than forming elsewhere. Don't form in Delaware or Wyoming just for their reputation — you'll still need to register as a foreign LLC at home and pay both states.
