An Indiana LLC costs $95 to file with the state and $392 all-in through Anonymousllc.co ($297 service fee plus the $95 state fee). Ongoing cost is a $32 biennial report every two years plus $100/year registered agent. Indiana charges no franchise tax in the Delaware sense but does levy a flat 3.05% income tax on pass-through profit. This page breaks down every Indiana LLC cost for 2026.
An Indiana LLC costs $392 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $95 state filing fee. That price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, an Indiana operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. The number carries no hidden upsells. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN at $99 when bought alone, ITIN at $299, and BOI reports at $150 each where a filing is required. From year two, the recurring cost is the $100/year registered agent plus the $32 biennial report. Banking applications reach Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and other partners, and the multi-bank approach reaches roughly a 90% approval rate. The full process finishes in 5 to 10 business days, so the $392 buys a funded, bankable Indiana LLC rather than a bare state filing.
The Indiana Secretary of State charges $95 to file the Articles of Organization, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. The $95 is separate from the $297 Anonymousllc.co service fee, and the two together make the $392 all-in price. Filing direct with the state costs the $95 alone, but the founder then handles the name search, operating agreement, EIN, and banking without support. Indiana does not add a publication fee or an initial-report fee at formation, so the $95 is the complete state cost on day one. The next state charge is the $32 biennial report, which does not arrive until the two-year anniversary window, keeping the first-year state outlay to the single filing fee.
An Indiana LLC costs the $32 biennial report every two years plus $100/year for registered agent service when a commercial agent is used. Averaged across the two-year cycle, ongoing maintenance runs about $100 per year. Year one registered agent is included free in any Anonymousllc.co formation package. Indiana's flat 3.05% income tax and local county taxes apply to pass-through profit, but those are income taxes on the owner rather than a flat annual entity fee. Because the report is biennial, the $32 lands once every two years, not annually, which keeps Indiana's ongoing state cost low. A missed report adds reinstatement cost of $250 plus state fees, so the registered agent's deadline tracking pays for itself the first time it prevents a lapse.
Filing yourself costs the $95 state fee alone, but you handle the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications without support. The $297 service fee buys the full done-for-you process in 5 to 10 business days. Most owners find the DIY route costs more in time and missed steps than the service fee saves in money, especially for the EIN and multi-bank applications. A non-resident without an SSN faces a fax-filed SS-4 that is slow to navigate alone. The service fee also buys the Indiana operating agreement and the parallel bank applications, two pieces that stall a DIY founder the most. The $95 direct-file route saves cash upfront but leaves the founder to assemble the same document set banks require before an account opens.
No. Indiana charges no franchise tax in the Delaware sense, where an entity pays a flat annual amount regardless of income. Indiana's ongoing state charge on an LLC is the $32 biennial report. Indiana does levy a flat 3.05% personal income tax plus local county taxes, but that applies to profit passing through to the owner, not to the entity as a standalone franchise levy. Delaware, by contrast, charges a $300 flat annual franchise tax on LLCs. The distinction matters for a low-revenue or dormant LLC: a franchise tax is owed even with no profit, while Indiana's income tax only applies when the LLC earns. That keeps the floor cost of holding an idle Indiana LLC to the biennial report and the registered agent, with no flat annual state levy on top.
The $392 total covers the $95 Indiana state fee plus the $297 service fee, which bundles filing, registered agent for year one, an Indiana operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Banking applications go to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and other partners, and the multi-bank approach reaches roughly a 90% approval rate. Add-ons are separate: EIN $99 alone, ITIN $299, BOI $150 per report where a filing is required. A standalone custom operating agreement, bought without formation, is a $199 add-on. Reinstatement of an administratively dissolved Indiana LLC is $250 plus state fees. Each add-on is quoted before work starts, so the founder approves each charge over WhatsApp before it is billed.
New Mexico is the cheapest at $347 all-in with no annual report and no annual state fee. Wyoming is $397 all-in with owner privacy. Indiana runs $392 year one plus the $32 biennial report and $100/year registered agent from year two. Indiana's ongoing cost stays low next to Nevada, which adds an annual list plus state business license near $350 a year. A founder choosing on price alone lands on New Mexico; a founder needing owner privacy lands on Wyoming or New Mexico and foreign-qualifies into Indiana.
Indiana lists members or managers on the public record, so ownership privacy is not available on an Indiana LLC by itself. The privacy path is a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC that foreign-qualifies into Indiana. A Wyoming anonymous LLC is $397 all-in through the flagship package; New Mexico is $347 all-in. Adding an Indiana foreign qualification lets a private-ownership structure operate inside Indiana. See /wyoming-anonymous-llc/ for the privacy path and pricing. The foreign-qualified Wyoming or New Mexico entity becomes the owner of record in Indiana, so the founder's name never reaches the Indiana Secretary of State database. A founder whose business is purely online reaches many buyers without foreign-qualifying at all, holding the entity solely in the anonymous home state.
Add-ons sit outside the $392 formation price: the EIN is $99 when bought alone, an ITIN is $299, and a BOI report is $150 each where a filing is required. A standalone custom operating agreement is a $199 add-on. Registered agent renewal is $100/year from year two. Reinstatement of an administratively dissolved LLC is $250 plus state fees. Every add-on is quoted before work starts, so the founder approves each charge over WhatsApp.
