How This Calculator Works

Calculation methodology and assumptions

LLC formation costs in Virginia include the state filing fee ($100), the recurring annual registration fee ($50/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 Virginia. The $50 is a registration fee — a payment, not a filing — and it is collected by the State Corporation Commission rather than a Secretary of State. The filing is due the last day of the anniversary month of formation.

Example Calculation

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

Forming a single-member LLC in Virginia: state filing fee $100, registered agent service (~$125/year), EIN from IRS (free), and a DIY operating agreement (free, or $500-$1,500 with an attorney). Virginia's annual report/franchise tax is $50/year.

Result: Year 1 total: approximately $225 (plus any optional attorney fees). Ongoing annual cost: approximately $175/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 Virginia'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.
