How This Calculator Works

Calculation methodology and assumptions

LLC formation costs in New York include the state filing fee ($200), the recurring biennial statement ($9/year), registered agent fees, and optional costs like an operating agreement. EIN registration with the IRS is free. This calculator provides a comprehensive first-year and multi-year cost projection for forming and maintaining an LLC in New York. New York also requires a newly formed LLC to publish notice in two newspapers (one daily, one weekly) in its county within 120 days and then file a Certificate of Publication. Newspaper rates vary by county and are not included in any figure on this page; in New York City they are commonly the largest single cost of forming the LLC. The filing is due during the calendar month in which the LLC was originally formed, every second year.

Key State Information

Example Calculation

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

Forming a single-member LLC in New York: state filing fee $200, registered agent service (~$125/year), EIN from IRS (free), and a DIY operating agreement (free, or $500-$1,500 with an attorney). New York's annual report/franchise tax is $9/year.

Result: Year 1 total: approximately $325 (plus any optional attorney fees). Ongoing annual cost: approximately $134/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 New York'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.

The state filing fee is $200.

Do I need a registered agent for my New York LLC?

Yes, New York requires every LLC to have a registered agent with a physical street address in the state. You can serve as your own agent for $0 if you have a New York address and are willing to have it appear on the public record, or hire a commercial registered agent service for $100-$300/year.
