Costs that aren't in the plan price. The calculator factors these in where the provider publishes them; where they don't, we say so.

Per state filing

$39 / filing

Filing service is priced as a tiered annual subscription, not per-filing × volume. Each tier covers up to its filing count for one all-in annual fee. Effective per-filing cost declines from ~$33 at the 12-filings tier to $20 at the 600-filings tier. CO and LA carry additional costs due to home-rule and parish-level complexity. SST member state filings are free for eligible Premium customers (SST-enrolled, no physical nexus in that state).

Per state registration

$249 / registration
