A Pennsylvania LLC costs $422 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in year one: a $297 service fee plus the $125 state filing fee, with filing, registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 bank applications included. Ongoing cost is about $107/year: Pennsylvania's $7 annual report (new since 2025, replacing the former decennial report) plus the $100/year registered agent. Founders who want ownership privacy instead of a public Pennsylvania filing form a Wyoming LLC at $397 all-in and foreign-qualify into Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Secretary of State charges a $125 fee to file the Certificate of Organization, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. The $125 fee is the same for single-member and multi-member LLCs and for resident and non-resident owners. Pennsylvania does not charge a separate publication fee, unlike New York or Arizona. Anonymousllc.co pays this $125 to the state on the founder's behalf as part of the all-in package, so there is no separate state payment to manage. A founder who files alone pays the $125 directly to the state and then handles every other step without support. The fee buys the Certificate of Organization acceptance and nothing else, so the name search, operating agreement, EIN, and banking remain the owner's responsibility when filing DIY.
The recurring cost of a Pennsylvania LLC is about $107/year: a $7 annual report plus the $100/year registered agent when using a commercial service. The $7 annual report is a new requirement that started in 2025 and replaced the former decennial report. Pennsylvania does not levy a flat franchise tax the way Delaware does. Income tax obligations depend on state-sourced income and the entity's federal election, and pass-through profit is taxed at the flat 3.07% personal income tax rate at the member level. Anonymousllc.co files the $7 annual report as part of the registered agent subscription. The $7 report is a new requirement that started in 2025 and replaced the former decennial report, so owners of older Pennsylvania LLCs now budget for a yearly filing they did not face before. Total year-two maintenance of about $107 stays well below Delaware's $300 franchise tax and Nevada's $350-a-year list and license.
Filing yourself costs the $125 state fee alone, but the founder handles the name check, Certificate of Organization, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications without help. Anonymousllc.co charges a $297 service fee on top of the state fee and completes every step in 5-10 business days. The service fee covers the parts that cost the most time and carry the most risk of rejection: EIN filing for non-residents, a Pennsylvania-specific operating agreement, and parallel applications to four or five US banks. DIY filers who miss a step face refiling fees and delays that erase the $297 saving. The hardest DIY steps for a non-resident are the EIN, which the IRS issues to a foreigner only by fax on Form SS-4, and US bank approval, which is denied to applicants who submit incomplete documents. A rejected filing or a declined bank application costs weeks, which is the real price of doing it alone.
Anonymousllc.co forms a Pennsylvania LLC for $422 total: a $297 service fee plus the $125 state fee. That price includes the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN standalone $99, ITIN $299, and BOI report $150 if the FinCEN rule changes to require it. There are no hidden upsells inside the $422. Founders whose priority is privacy form a Wyoming LLC at $397 all-in and foreign-qualify into Pennsylvania, keeping members and managers off the public record. The $422 total breaks down as $297 for the service work and $125 for the state, with no line item hidden behind either number. A founder who needs only an EIN or only a registered agent pays the standalone price instead, but the bundled package costs less than buying each piece separately.
New Mexico is the lowest total cost at $347 all-in with no annual report and no annual fee, while Wyoming is $397 all-in with strong privacy and a $60 minimum annual license tax. A Pennsylvania LLC is $422 all-in year one plus about $107/year in maintenance. Pennsylvania's higher first-year cost and public ownership record make it a fit for founders who operate physically in Pennsylvania. Founders who want the lowest maintenance choose New Mexico; founders who want privacy choose Wyoming and foreign-qualify into Pennsylvania. Delaware is $407 all-in with a $300 annual franchise tax, and Nevada is $722 all-in with a state business license.
The privacy structure costs $397 all-in for the Wyoming anonymous LLC, plus the Pennsylvania foreign-qualification state fee when the business registers to operate in Pennsylvania. The Wyoming parent keeps members and managers off every public record. This two-part setup suits founders who want both a Pennsylvania operating footprint and ownership privacy that a standard $422 Pennsylvania LLC cannot provide. Anonymousllc.co structures the Wyoming parent, obtains its EIN and banking, and files the Pennsylvania foreign qualification so the anonymous entity operates legally in Pennsylvania. See /wyoming-anonymous-llc/ for the flagship structure.
No. A non-resident pays the same $422 all-in as a US resident to form a Pennsylvania LLC through Anonymousllc.co. Pennsylvania places no citizenship or residency surcharge on LLC ownership. The one difference is the EIN path: non-residents obtain it by fax on Form SS-4 through Anonymousllc.co as third-party designee rather than instantly online. Banking approval is harder for non-residents but reaches roughly 90% across four to five partner banks, and no US visit is required. A standalone EIN for an existing entity is $99; an ITIN for personal tax filing is $299. No state charges a residency surcharge, so a founder in Lagos, London, or Toronto pays the same $422 as a founder in Philadelphia. The only added cost a non-resident carries is the annual Form 5472 information return, which a US tax preparer handles separately from the formation package.
Anonymousllc.co completes a Pennsylvania LLC in 5-10 business days end-to-end. The state accepts the filing in 1-3 business days, the EIN lands 5-7 days after filing, and bank approval follows 8-10 days after the EIN. The steps run in parallel wherever they can, starting with a 5-minute WhatsApp intake on day zero. US-resident founders receive the EIN online in about one day; non-resident EINs filed by fax take longer. A funded US bank account lands by day 10-12 of the overall timeline, and the $422 all-in price does not change with speed.
5-minute WhatsApp intake. 5-10 day turnaround.
