How much does a US LLC cost in 2026: the real all-in price

A US LLC costs €389 for the first year at LLC Place, plus state fees billed at cost, €50 in New Mexico or €100 in Wyoming. That price covers everything the company needs to exist, get paid and stay in good standing with its state: the articles, the registered agent, the US business address, the EIN, the operating agreement and the bank account opening. You know it before you start, and it does not move.

If you have read elsewhere that an LLC costs €50, that figure is the New Mexico filing fee and nothing else. A registered company is not a working company. Without an agent, an address, an EIN and a bank account, it can neither invoice nor get paid. LLC Place does not hand you a filing number, it hands you a company ready to work, with everything around it.

What the LLC Place price includes

The Basic plan, €389 for the first year, handles formation from start to finish. LLC Place drafts and files your articles with the Secretary of State, with LLC Place as organizer: your name does not appear on the register. In Wyoming and New Mexico, the state approves the filing in 1 to 3 business days. You get a registered agent in the state, required to receive official mail, and a US business address separate from your home address, with mail reception and scanning.

LLC Place then obtains your EIN from the IRS without a Social Security number, drafts your operating agreement in English, and walks you through opening a US bank account with a physical debit card. Every step is tracked in one dashboard, with a reminder before each deadline. Renewal costs €379 a year, registered agent, address and monitoring included.

State fees, billed at cost

State fees are the only amounts paid to US authorities. LLC Place bills them at cost, with no markup. Three states account for almost every non-resident formation.

In New Mexico there is nothing more to pay the state after formation. In Wyoming, LLC Place files the Annual Report and its fee is included in the renewal. Our guide to choosing a state helps you decide between the three.

One price, one point of contact

Forming an LLC on your own means lining up a registered agent, a business address, an EIN application on Form SS-4, an operating agreement and a bank that accepts non-residents. That is five providers, five contracts, five renewals to keep track of, and a bank application to defend alone, which is where poorly prepared formations most often fail. Everything runs from one place, the platform that forms your US LLC.

With LLC Place, everything goes through one payment, one point of contact and one dashboard. Your mail is scanned, your documents are stored in one place, and you are told before every state or IRS deadline. There is nothing to remember and nothing to watch: the company runs, and you work.

IRS filings: optional or included

An LLC owned by a non-resident files Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 every year, before April 15. At LLC Place, these filings are offered as an option at €199 a year. For €398 a year, a US tax expert also takes charge of your file from start to finish: you approve, they file, and you receive the confirmation.

They are included in the Pro plan, at €699, which also adds automatic compliance reminders, one tax consultation per year and priority support. The Founder plan, at €1,428, goes further with a dedicated US tax expert, automated monthly bookkeeping and analysis, an annual tax review meeting and proactive IRS regulatory monitoring. In all three cases you are told before every deadline and nothing slips through.

The three plans, side by side

What costs nothing

An LLC owned by a non-resident, with no office or employees in the United States, generally pays no federal tax on its profits. There is no minimum capital, no US sales tax on services sold outside the United States, and no travel to plan. The cost of an LLC is its running cost, and with LLC Place it fits in one number known in advance.
