A Hawaii LLC costs $347 all-in in year one through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $50 state filing fee. Ongoing cost is a $15 annual report and $100/year registered agent, about $115/year. This 2026 breakdown covers the state fee, service fee versus filing alone, ongoing costs, Hawaii's General Excise Tax, and how the total compares with the four anonymous states. Founders who need privacy form a Wyoming anonymous LLC at $397 and foreign-qualify into Hawaii.
The Hawaii Secretary of State charges $50 to file the Articles of Organization, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. The fee is the same for residents and non-residents and does not change with the number of members. Anonymousllc.co pays this $50 to the state on the founder's behalf as part of the formation package, so there is no separate state payment to arrange. Hawaii accepts the filing within 1-3 business days of submission.
Anonymousllc.co charges a $297 service fee on top of the $50 state fee, for $347 all-in. Filing alone costs only the $50 state fee, but the founder then handles the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications without help. The $297 covers the full done-for-you process in 5-10 business days: name search with backups, the Hawaii filing, a Hawaii-specific operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. The single fee has no upsells attached. A Wyoming anonymous LLC is $397 all-in for founders who want ownership off public records.
A Hawaii LLC is $347 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $50 state fee. That includes the filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Add-on services are priced separately: a standalone EIN is $99, an ITIN is $299, and a BOI report is $150 where one applies. Founders who need anonymity form a Wyoming anonymous LLC at $397 and foreign-qualify into Hawaii, or a New Mexico anonymous LLC at $347 with no annual report at all. Each price is a flat total, not a starting rate.
A Hawaii LLC costs about $115/year to maintain from year two: a $15 annual report plus the $100/year registered agent renewal. Year one includes registered agent free inside the $347 formation price. Income tax obligations sit on top of these fixed fees and depend on Hawaii-sourced profit and any entity-level election. Anonymousllc.co bundles the annual report filing into registered agent service, so the $115/year covers both the state report and the agent. Missing the annual report risks administrative dissolution, which is more expensive to reverse than the report itself.
Hawaii charges no franchise tax in the Delaware sense, but it does impose a General Excise Tax on business gross income that functions differently from a retail sales tax. It applies to the gross receipts of most Hawaii business activity. The General Excise Tax is a business obligation rather than a formation fee, so it does not appear in the $347 all-in price. A US tax preparer models the amount for the specific activity and revenue. This is separate from Hawaii personal income tax of up to 11% on profit passed through to owners, covered in full at /hawaii-llc-tax/.
New Mexico is the lowest total cost at $347 all-in with no annual report and no annual state fee. A Hawaii LLC is $347 in year one but adds the $15 annual report each year after. Wyoming is $397 all-in and pairs a low $60 annual report with member and manager privacy. Delaware is $407 with a $300 flat annual franchise tax, and Nevada is $722 with an annual list and state business license. For a business tied to Hawaii, the direct $347 Hawaii LLC is the practical choice; for privacy or lowest ongoing cost, New Mexico or Wyoming wins.
A non-resident forms a Hawaii LLC for the same $347 all-in, with no SSN or visa required and no US visit. The EIN is obtained by fax at no extra charge inside the package. A non-resident who needs a personal US tax ID adds an ITIN at $299; the LLC itself runs on its $99-value EIN, included in formation. Banking is available to non-residents, though approval is harder, which is why Anonymousllc.co submits four or five applications at once. There is no non-resident surcharge on the Hawaii formation price.
Filing a Hawaii LLC yourself costs only the $50 state fee, but the founder then handles the name search, the operating agreement, the EIN, and every bank application alone. The $297 service fee covers all of that done in 5-10 business days. The DIY route saves cash up front and costs time, and a missed step, such as a rejected name or an incorrect SS-4, adds days or a resubmission fee. For a non-resident without an SSN, the EIN fax process alone is the hardest part to do unaided. The service fee buys a single point of contact who runs the full sequence and confirms each milestone over WhatsApp.
A business that operates only online with no Hawaii storefront can skip a Hawaii filing entirely and form a single Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC instead, at $397 or $347 all-in. A Hawaii presence adds the $50 Hawaii filing plus a Hawaii registered agent. When the business has employees, a physical location, or clients served in the islands, a Hawaii registration is required, either as a direct LLC or a foreign qualification of an anonymous entity. Foreign-qualifying adds a Hawaii registration fee on top of the home-state formation, which Anonymousllc.co quotes before filing. For a purely remote business, one anonymous LLC is the lower-cost path.
Payment for a Hawaii LLC is a single $347 charge that covers the $297 service fee and the $50 state fee together, with no staged or hidden billing. Add-on services like an ITIN or BOI report are quoted and charged separately before work begins. The flat structure means the founder knows the full year-one cost up front, unlike filing services that advertise a low base and add fees for the operating agreement, registered agent, or EIN. Everything in the core package, the filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications, is inside the $347. Renewals from year two are billed as the $15 annual report and the $100 registered agent.
