A Delaware LLC costs $407 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $110 Delaware state filing fee. That price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, a Delaware operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Ongoing, a Delaware LLC pays a flat $300 annual franchise tax due June 1 plus $100/year for the registered agent, so year-two maintenance is $400. Delaware LLCs file no annual report. This page breaks down every Delaware LLC cost for 2026.
A Delaware LLC costs $407 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $110 Delaware state filing fee. That single price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Nothing hides behind that number. The $407 is the full year-one cost to go from nothing to a US LLC with an EIN and a funded US bank account. Add-on services stay separate and optional: EIN $99 as a standalone, ITIN $299, and BOI filing $150 per report when a foreign-owned structure requires one. Compared with a lawyer-led formation, which runs into four figures for the same deliverables, the $407 flat price is a fraction of the cost and moves in days rather than weeks.
The Delaware state filing fee is $110, paid once to the Delaware Division of Corporations to file the Certificate of Formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at formation time. The $110 is bundled into the $407 all-in price, not billed on top of it. Delaware charges the fee whether the founder files directly or uses Anonymousllc.co. A DIY filer pays the $110 and then handles the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications alone; Anonymousllc.co folds all of that into the $297 service fee. Delaware does charge $75 to reserve a name before filing, but standard formation locks the name at the moment the certificate is accepted, so that fee is optional.
Delaware charges a flat $300 annual franchise tax on every LLC, due June 1 each year. Delaware LLCs file no annual report; the franchise tax is the ongoing state obligation that keeps the LLC in good standing. The $300 is the same for every LLC regardless of income, revenue, or assets. Missing the June 1 deadline adds a $200 penalty plus 1.5% monthly interest. The payment does not list members or managers, so paying it never affects anonymity. Anonymousllc.co tracks the date and submits the franchise tax on request. Budgeting the $300 each spring keeps the LLC in good standing and ready to produce a certificate of good standing whenever a bank or investor asks.
A Delaware LLC costs $400/year to maintain from year two: the $300 annual franchise tax due June 1 plus $100/year for commercial registered agent service. Delaware requires no annual report. Income tax obligations sit on top of that and depend on state-sourced income and the entity's tax election. An LLC with no Delaware-sourced income and no US effectively connected income owes no Delaware income tax. The $400 figure is the fixed compliance floor; Anonymousllc.co bundles the registered agent renewal and franchise-tax filing into one yearly touchpoint.
The $407 covers the $110 state filing fee plus the $297 service fee, which includes registered agent for year one, a Delaware operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. It is a complete formation package. That means name search and backup names, the Certificate of Formation filing, the Delaware registered office address, a Delaware-specific operating agreement, EIN acquisition (by fax for non-residents), and parallel bank applications to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and others. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN $99 as a standalone, ITIN $299, and BOI filing $150 per report. Every deliverable in that list is something a DIY filer would otherwise source, pay for, and coordinate separately, which is why the bundled price saves both money and weeks of effort.
Filing directly costs only the $110 state fee, but the founder then handles the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications alone. For non-residents, the EIN-by-fax and multi-bank process is where DIY stalls. Most owners find the DIY route costs more in time and missed steps than the $297 service fee saves in cash. A rejected EIN application or a single-bank decline can add weeks. Anonymousllc.co runs the full sequence in 5-10 business days and applies to four or five banks at once for about a 90% approval rate. For a non-resident with no SSN, the fax-based EIN process alone can take several attempts to get right, which is where the service fee pays for itself.
Among the four anonymous states, New Mexico is cheapest at $347 all-in with no annual report and no annual fee. Wyoming is $397 with a $60 annual license tax, Delaware is $407 with the $300 franchise tax, and Nevada is $722 with a $350/year annual list and license. Delaware sits in the middle on year-one price but higher on ongoing cost because of the $300 franchise tax. Founders who want the lowest total cost pick New Mexico or Wyoming. Founders who need the Court of Chancery, the series LLC statute, or investor recognition pick Delaware and accept the franchise tax. Over a five-year horizon, the gap widens: New Mexico stays near its formation cost while Delaware adds $300 every June, so the state choice is a long-term decision, not just a day-one one.
Yes. Add-on services are priced separately from the $407 formation package: a standalone EIN is $99, an ITIN is $299, and a BOI filing is $150 per report. Each is optional and quoted before work starts. The EIN is already included in the $407 formation price; the $99 EIN line applies only when a founder buys the EIN on its own for an existing LLC. Custom operating-agreement drafting for complex multi-member or series structures is a separate add-on. None of these are required to form and bank a standard Delaware LLC.
