How much does a Wyoming LLC cost?
Verified on October 22, 2026 · By LLCroad
Short answer
Wyoming charges $100 to file the articles of organization (state fee schedule), then a minimum of $60 each year for the annual report. For a non-resident, LLCroad’s all-inclusive formation costs $489, and $789 once you add the first year of the annual plan.
What the State of Wyoming charges
The state side of the budget is short and predictable. The Secretary of State charges $100 to file the articles of organization, or $102.40 when paid online by card (fee schedule). After that, the only recurring state cost is the annual report license tax.
The annual report costs a minimum of $60, or a small fraction of the assets located in Wyoming when that amount is higher. It is due on the first day of the anniversary month of the formation. Most small companies run by non-residents pay the minimum.
For comparison, here are the same state fees in the three states most often chosen by founders abroad:
| Criterion | Wyoming | Delaware | New Mexico |
|---|---|---|---|
| State filing fee | $100 | $110 | $50 |
| Yearly state cost | $60 minimum (annual report) | $400 (annual tax) | — |
| Due date | First day of the anniversary month | June 1 | — |
| If late | Dissolution after 60 days | $200 penalty + monthly interest | — |
What a non-resident needs on top of the state fee
The filing fee creates the company. To use it from abroad, a few more pieces are needed, and they are where prices vary from one provider to another:
| Item | Why you need it | With LLCroad |
|---|---|---|
| Registered agent | Mandatory Wyoming address that receives legal mail | Included for year one, then in the annual plan |
| EIN | Company tax number, needed for the bank, Stripe and IRS forms | Requested by fax, answer in about 4 business days (IRS) |
| Articles and operating agreement | Founding documents the bank will ask for | Articles filed, operating agreement template included |
| US bank account | To receive and send payments | Help opening the bank that serves your country of residence |
| Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 | Yearly IRS filing for a foreign-owned LLC | First one included |
Form 5472 deserves attention in any budget: the IRS sets a penalty of $25,000 per missing form. Our Form 5472 guide explains who files it and when.
LLCroad prices: formation and the following years
| Plan | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Formation | $489 | State filing fee, registered agent for year one, EIN, articles and operating agreement, bank account help, first Form 5472 + 1120 |
| Annual plan, from the second year | $300 | Registered agent, Wyoming annual report including the state fee, Form 5472 + 1120 |
| Standby plan, from the second year | $189 | Registered agent and Wyoming annual report, without Form 5472 |
Formation plus one year of the annual plan comes to $789. With the Standby plan instead, it is $678, and you file Form 5472 with the accountant of your choice. In the euro area the formation is offered at €489. Every line is detailed on our pricing page, with no option added at checkout.
Keeping the yearly cost predictable
The figures above stay stable as long as the annual report is filed on time. Once it is past due, Wyoming gives 60 days (Secretary of State) before the company is administratively dissolved, and bringing it back costs a reinstatement fee of $350 on top of the missed reports. The annual plan files the report for you each year, and our annual report guide covers the calendar in detail.
