The filing fee is the online price for the document that creates the LLC (articles of organization, a certificate of organization or a certificate of formation, depending on the state). Faster processing, card fees and optional name reservations cost extra. Recurring charges can start in the first year or the second, depending on the state, and are for an LLC with one owner that is taxed the default way (not as a corporation); where a state charges more when an LLC has more owners, the row says so. Taxes figured on income or revenue are not included, except where a state sets a minimum. Each row links an official page for its filing fee. Where that page shows a different figure, such as the mail price or the fee before a required charge, the note under the fee explains the difference.
