Start with where the business operates: that state will register and tax the LLC whatever you pick here, so the comparison matters most when you are free to choose (holding companies, real estate entities, online businesses without a fixed base, non-US founders). Then weigh 3 things in order: the charging-order rule, because it decides what a personal creditor can take; owner privacy, because it decides what the public can see; and the recurring fee, because it compounds. The full 6-state table with commentary is on the compare hub, and the Wyoming figures are explained on Wyoming LLC cost.
Which state should you pick for an LLC?
Pick your operating state if the business has a physical presence anywhere. If it does not, Wyoming is the default for 4 reasons the table makes visible: $100 to form and $60 a year, 0% state income tax, no owner names on public filings, and the exclusive charging-order remedy for single-member LLCs. Read the head-to-heads for the trade-offs: Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Florida. When Wyoming wins, the $497 package files it with the registered agent, operating agreement, EIN and bank applications included.
State Comparison Tool: Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LLC state comparison tool compare?
Eight factors for each state: filing fee, annual state fee, state income tax, whether owners appear on public records, charging-order protection strength, Series LLC availability, the year the LLC statute was enacted, and 5-year state fees. Six states are available: Wyoming, Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Florida.
Where do the numbers come from?
Each state's secretary of state fee schedule and LLC statute, read on October 15, 2026. The Sources section links every page. Registered agent fees ($25 to $200 a year) are excluded because they depend on the provider, not the state.
Can I share or embed a comparison?
Yes. The URL updates as you pick states (for example ?states=WY,DE,NV), so copying the address shares the exact table. The embed box gives an iframe snippet that renders the same comparison on your own page.
Why does the 5-year total exclude taxes?
Income and franchise taxes depend on your revenue and residence, not on the state of formation alone, so the tool shows fixed state fees only: formation plus four annual fees. Add your registered agent and any home-state registration to get a full budget.
