Short Answer
The Wyoming LLC price at the state level is $100. That's the Wyoming Secretary of State fee for filing Articles of Organization, plus a 2.4% card fee if you file online. Everything a founder abroad pays beyond that goes to a provider (registered agent, EIN help, bank-ready documents) or into IRS paperwork you owe every year. So the real Wyoming LLC price depends on which of those jobs you hand off.

The Wyoming LLC price the state actually charges
The state's number is small and easy to check.
Per the Wyoming Secretary of State fee schedule effective July 1, 2026, filing Articles of Organization for an LLC costs $100.
Three details on the official fee schedule and the WyoBiz filing instructions that most price lists skip:
-
Card fee. Online filing adds a credit card processing fee of 2.4% of the filing fee, with a $1 minimum. Budget "$100 + card fee", not a flat $100.
-
Rush tiers. Expedited filing costs $700 for the next business day or $1,400 for the same business day. Those are state fees, on top of the $100.
-
Names starting with "A". WyoBiz says these must be filed on paper for manual review.
The Articles form is short: LLC name, a registered agent with a physical Wyoming address, mailing and principal office addresses, an email for service and an organizer's signature. No member names.
What a provider charges for, and why it matters abroad
A provider's fee covers the jobs the state won't do for you, and that's where most of the Wyoming LLC price gap between offers comes from. From outside the US, four jobs set the budget:
-
Registered agent. Wyoming requires an agent with a physical address in the state. A PO box alone doesn't count.
-
US business address. A mailing address for the LLC that you can actually receive mail at.
-
EIN. The IRS online EIN tool needs an SSN or ITIN and can't be used when the principal place of business is outside the US. So for a founder abroad, check first whether a plan includes the EIN.
-
Operating agreement. The document that shows who owns and controls the LLC.

The costs that show up after year one
The $100 is paid once. The part of the Wyoming LLC price people underestimate comes every year.
Wyoming annual report. It's due on the first day of your formation anniversary month. Form on May 15 and it's due May 1 each year. The license tax is based on your company's assets located and employed in Wyoming.
Wyoming's official site puts the state tax side in one line: "Unlike other states, Wyoming does not possess an individual or corporate income tax."
If the report isn't filed within 60 days of the due date, the state dissolves the LLC administratively. Reinstatement within two years means paying every missed report and fee plus a $100 reinstatement fee. If the registered agent lapsed, the reinstatement fee is $350.
IRS Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120. A single-member LLC owned by a foreign person is a "foreign-owned U.S. DE" under the IRS Form 5472 instructions. It has no income tax return requirement, but it still has to file a pro forma Form 1120 with Form 5472 attached, by April 15 for a calendar-year company. It can't be e-filed: it goes by fax or mail, as does a Form 7004 extension. Putting money into the LLC or taking money out counts as a reportable transaction, so an LLC with no sales usually still files. The IRS penalty for not filing is $25,000.

Wyoming LLC price compared: providers and DIY
A neutral editorial comparison, with prices as listed in October 2026. Check each provider's site before you pay.
| Option | What you pay |
|---|---|
| CORPBOLT | Wyoming LLC formation from $349, or $599 with your EIN included. The $100 state filing fee is included on every plan. |
| Stripe Atlas | $500 one-time incl. state fees and 1st-year registered agent, then $100/yr. Delaware only (C-corp or LLC), no Wyoming. |
| Firstbase (Start) | $399 list price; currently an offer where formation is free and you pay only the state fee; registered agent required and billed separately. |
| doola (Starter) | $297/yr plus state fees ($397 in year 1 in Wyoming), renews at $297/yr; Tax & Compliance plan $1,999/yr. |
| DIY (Wyoming Secretary of State) | $100 state fee for the Articles + card fee; $60 minimum annual report paid to the State of Wyoming (not a CORPBOLT fee); you also need a registered agent with a physical Wyoming address. |
Some offers bill the registered agent separately and some renew yearly. A fair Wyoming LLC price comparison counts what's included, not the headline.
Three Wyoming LLC price budgets: DIY, Foundation, Launch
DIY: $100 + card fee to the state
This is the Wyoming LLC price at its bare state minimum. You file on WyoBiz, hire your own registered agent, apply for the EIN yourself and track the annual report and Form 5472 dates. It suits someone who is comfortable with forms and has time to chase them.
Foundation: $349
CORPBOLT's Foundation plan includes the $100 Wyoming filing fee, a first-year registered agent and a US business address. The EIN is a $199 add-on. It fits a founder who doesn't need the EIN right away.
Launch: $599
Launch includes everything in Foundation plus the EIN and a bank-ready operating agreement. If you'd buy the EIN add-on anyway, price Launch next to it.
Where I'd start
For a founder abroad, I'd price CORPBOLT first: its plans are built around the two jobs that are hardest from outside the US, the EIN and the bank-ready documents. CORPBOLT files Wyoming LLCs for founders outside the US, and the $100 state fee is already inside every plan. No US residency, citizenship or visit is required. For founders who don't want to handle the yearly IRS filing, CORPBOLT's Concierge plan at $1,497 includes the Form 5472 and pro forma 1120 filing. Current plans and prices are on CORPBOLT.
