A Michigan LLC costs $50 to file, carries a $25 annual statement, and runs $347 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in year one ($297 service fee plus the $50 state fee). Registered agent renewal is $100/year, and Michigan applies a flat 4.25% income tax to pass-through profit. Founders who want ownership privacy form a Wyoming LLC at $397 all-in and foreign-qualify into Michigan.
A Michigan LLC costs $347 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in year one: a $297 service fee plus the $50 state filing fee. That price covers filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. From year two, recurring cost is the $25 annual statement plus $100/year registered agent renewal, near $125/year. A do-it-yourself filing costs the $50 state fee alone, and the founder then handles the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and banking without support. The $347 is a single all-in figure with no staged upsells: the EIN, the operating agreement, and the bank applications are inside the price rather than added at checkout. A founder comparing providers checks whether a lower headline price excludes the EIN or the registered agent, which pushes the true total higher.
Michigan's Secretary of State charges a $50 filing fee for the Articles of Organization, paid once at formation. It is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. Anonymousllc.co bundles the $50 into the $347 all-in total alongside the registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications. A do-it-yourself founder pays the $50 directly to the state and completes every other step alone, from the name search through the bank applications.
Michigan LLC ongoing cost is the $25 annual statement due February 15 plus $100/year registered agent renewal, near $125/year from year two. Michigan applies a flat 4.25% income tax on pass-through profit. Michigan charges no franchise tax on income in the Delaware sense. Beyond the annual statement and registered agent, cost depends on the LLC's income tax and any local licenses the business needs. Anonymousllc.co files the annual statement on request as part of registered agent service. The $25 annual statement is due February 15 every year, a fixed date rather than a formation anniversary, which keeps the cost predictable across a portfolio of LLCs. A founder who forms the LLC after September 30 skips the first February 15, delaying the first $25 statement by a full cycle.
Anonymousllc.co forms a Michigan LLC for $347 all-in: a $297 service fee plus the $50 state fee. The price covers filing, registered agent for year one, a Michigan operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. There are no upsells hidden behind that number. For stronger ownership privacy, Anonymousllc.co recommends a Wyoming LLC at $397 all-in plus a Michigan foreign qualification, since a Michigan-only filing lists a member or manager on the public record. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN $99, ITIN $299, BOI $150 per report.
A do-it-yourself Michigan LLC costs the $50 state filing fee, but the founder handles the name check, Articles, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications alone. Anonymousllc.co covers all of it for $297 plus the state fee. A non-resident founder faces the largest gap doing it alone, because the EIN requires a fax SS-4 with "Foreign" in place of an SSN and banking requires applying to multiple partner banks. Anonymousllc.co handles both remotely inside the 5-10 business day timeline. The hidden cost of the do-it-yourself route is time and rework: a rejected name, a mis-filed SS-4, or a declined bank application each restart a step and push the launch out by days or weeks. The $297 service fee buys a single coordinated process that clears all six steps on one timeline.
Add-on services are priced separately from the $347 formation total: EIN $99, ITIN $299, BOI $150 per report, and a custom-drafted operating agreement $199. Registered agent renewal is $100/year from year two. The standard formation package already includes the EIN, so the standalone $99 EIN applies only when a founder needs an EIN without formation. Reinstatement of an administratively dissolved Michigan LLC is $250 plus state fees on a case-by-case basis.
No. Michigan charges no franchise tax on LLC income in the Delaware sense. The recurring state obligation is the $25 annual statement due February 15, not a franchise or privilege tax on capital. Delaware, by contrast, charges a $300 flat annual franchise tax due June 1. Michigan's flat 4.25% personal income tax applies to pass-through profit, and that is the main ongoing state cost beyond the annual statement and registered agent.
New Mexico is the cheapest for total cost at $347 all-in with no annual report and no annual fee. Wyoming is second at $397 all-in with strong anonymity and no state income tax. Michigan costs $347 in year one plus near $125/year maintenance and a 4.25% income tax. A Michigan filing matches New Mexico's year-one price but adds the $25 annual statement and the 4.25% income tax that New Mexico and Wyoming do not charge. For privacy plus low ongoing cost, the anonymous states lead.
Ownership privacy in Michigan costs $397 all-in for a Wyoming anonymous LLC plus the Michigan foreign qualification state fee. Wyoming keeps members off the public record, and the Michigan filing lists the Wyoming LLC as owner. A Michigan registered agent at $100/year keeps the founder's home address off in-state filings, but it does not hide ownership, since Michigan discloses a member or manager. The Wyoming path is the route to true owner anonymity while operating in Michigan. The added cost of the Wyoming path over a direct Michigan filing is the $50 difference in year one plus the Michigan foreign qualification fee, weighed against the value of keeping the owner's name off the public record. For many founders the privacy is worth that modest premium.
Over five years, a Michigan LLC costs near $847 in fees through Anonymousllc.co: $347 in year one plus four years of $125/year maintenance. That figure excludes income tax, which depends on profit. The year-one $347 covers the $50 state fee and the $297 service fee with the registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications. Years two through five each add the $25 annual statement and the $100/year registered agent renewal, a predictable $125 per year. Michigan charges no franchise tax on income to inflate that number. By comparison, a Wyoming LLC over five years runs near $797 in fees: $397 in year one plus $100/year registered agent and the $60 minimum annual report license tax, near $160/year from year two. New Mexico is the lowest at $347 in year one and $100/year registered agent with no annual report at all. The five-year view shows Michigan sits close to Wyoming on fees while adding a 4.25% state income tax that Wyoming and New Mexico avoid. A founder choosing on total cost weighs that recurring income tax against the value of a Michigan in-state presence, and Anonymousllc.co lays out both paths before filing.
