What Does an LLC Cost in Wyoming?

Wyoming: $100 to form, then $60 a year at the minimum, and the minimum is a formula, not a flat fee. The Annual Report License Tax is the greater of $60 or $0.0002 of the assets located and employed in Wyoming, so an LLC with no Wyoming assets pays exactly $60, and the tax only grows once Wyoming assets pass $300,000.

Year one: what you pay to exist

Year-one cost in Wyoming	Amount
Articles of Organization, Secretary of State	$100
EIN from the IRS	$0
Operating agreement (you write it, not filed)	$0
Registered agent (a Wyoming individual or business serves)	$0 state fee
Total state cost, year one	$100

That $100 is the complete required state charge to form, the same base fee online through WyoBiz and by mail, with one honest asterisk: online filings add a payment processor convenience fee whose amount the Secretary of State's guides do not state, so the online total is $100 plus that fee, and no exact figure is printed here. Nothing else is owed in year one: no publication, no separate first year report fee, and the first Annual Report License Tax falls due on the first day of the anniversary month in the following year. Hiring a commercial registered agent is a market purchase, separate from state charges, and for a founder with no physical Wyoming address of their own it is effectively required, because the registered office must be a physical Wyoming street address; the $50 annual registration of a commercial registered agent on the fee schedule is the agent's own charge, not the LLC's filing fee.

Every year after: the cost of staying alive

Recurring cost in Wyoming	Amount
Annual Report License Tax, minimum, due the first day of the anniversary month	$60
License tax formula above the minimum	$0.0002 of Wyoming assets, which is $200 per $1,000,000
State income tax on the LLC or its members	$0. Wyoming has no personal or corporate income tax
Sales or use tax	Only on taxable Wyoming sales activity; transactional, not a flat charge
Typical recurring total	$60/yr minimum

The $60 minimum buys another year on the record, and Wyoming enforces the deadline with forfeiture rather than a late fee. The fee schedule lists no dollar late penalty for a late annual report. Instead, the entity is delinquent after its due date, and if the report is not filed within 60 days the company is administratively dissolved, the Secretary of State's term for the forfeiture section 17-29-705 describes. Reinstatement on the tax ground costs $100 plus all delinquent license taxes, within two years, and reinstatement relates back to the forfeiture date. The separate agent ground costs $350 to reinstate, also within two years. Miss the two year window and no reinstatement exists at any price. Budget $60 a year, and treat the first day of the anniversary month as a hard date.

What drives the Wyoming total, year one vs. later

Wyoming's year one is a single $100 filing fee, and later years are driven by one formula. The Annual Report License Tax under section 17-29-209(a) is the greater of $60 or two tenths of one mill on the dollar, $0.0002, of the capital, property, and assets located and employed in Wyoming. Run the conversions the Secretary of State's own materials use: $0.20 per $1,000 of Wyoming assets, $200 per $1,000,000, and a break even at $300,000, where the formula first passes the $60 minimum. The Secretary of State works the next example itself: $1,210,000 of Wyoming assets times $0.0002 is $242. Two consequences follow. First, only Wyoming assets count, so an LLC holding everything in other states reports $0 of Wyoming assets and pays exactly $60, which is the accurate, narrow version of the Wyoming pitch. Second, the $60 is a floor, not the fee, and any page presenting Wyoming's recurring cost as a flat $60 for every LLC is hiding the formula. The rest of the marketing gets the same treatment on this page. No income tax is structurally true: the Department of Revenue administers mineral and excise taxes and has no income tax among them. Asset protection rests on one real provision, section 17-29-503(g), which makes the charging order the exclusive remedy for a member's personal judgment creditor reaching that member's transferable interest; it says nothing about claims against the LLC itself, which reach the LLC's assets in the ordinary way. And none of it touches the state where the business actually operates, whose foreign registration and tax rules still apply in full.

The Wyoming fees around the $100 formation

Every figure below is from the Secretary of State's Business Division Filing Fee Schedule, effective July 1, 2026. Online filings add a payment processor convenience fee on top of these base fees, in an amount the Secretary of State's guides do not state.

Wyoming filing	Fee
Appointment of New Registered Agent and Office (also agent information update or resignation, per entity)	$5
Amendment to the Articles of Organization	$60
Articles of Dissolution	$60
Foreign LLC Certificate of Authority	$150
Foreign LLC Certificate of Withdrawal	$60
Reinstatement for Tax (plus delinquent license taxes, within 2 years)	$100
Reinstatement for No Registered Agent (within 2 years)	$350
Trade name registration (10 years)	$100
Trade name renewal (a further 10 years)	$50
Trade name assignment / cancellation / reservation	$25 / $10 / $30
Certificate of Good Standing, obtained online through WyoBiz	$0
Certificate of Existence, Evidence, or Good Standing, as listed on the fee schedule	$20

The Wyoming taxes that are not in the flat totals

Two Wyoming charges sit outside the $100 and $60 figures, both because they depend on the business rather than the entity. The first is the license tax itself above its floor: only the amount by which Wyoming assets exceed $300,000 adds cost, at $0.0002 per dollar, and that amount cannot be known until the LLC's Wyoming balance sheet exists, so the totals on this page use the $60 minimum and print the formula wherever the figure appears. The second is sales and use tax, administered by the Department of Revenue's Excise Tax Division. It is transactional, generally 4 to 8 percent by county depending on where the customer takes possession, and it attaches to taxable sales by a company with a Wyoming presence or meeting the Department's economic thresholds, not to the act of forming an LLC. A Wyoming LLC with no Wyoming sales activity owes no Wyoming sales tax on that basis alone. Members' federal taxes, and any tax owed to the state where the LLC actually operates, are likewise outside Wyoming's charge and outside these totals.

Run your own version, with an optional registered agent added, in the LLC cost calculator. Every state's year-one and recurring totals sit in one table on the national cost hub, and if a service would act as your agent, the registered agent price tracker follows what that costs at each tracked provider. If you would rather a service handled the filing, the services comparison prices that honestly, renewals included.
