How much does an LLC cost?
Formation and annual fees for all 51 jurisdictions in one table, with the total formula printed on the page. A state we have not read cannot be totalled, and says so.

Where should your LLC be filed?
Answer the sentence below and the ledger answers back. The same rules run on every visit: published figures only, no invented numbers, no state you do not operate in.

The answer, home state rule
Texas
A business with a real footprint in Texas files in Texas. Forming anywhere else adds a foreign registration back home: two filings, two annual bills, two registered agents. The out-of-state discount does not survive that arithmetic.

Shown for honesty, not as a recommendation. A state you do not operate in is not on offer here. Franchise tax is not in these figures: its namespace has no coverage row at this pin, so the publication gate holds it out of every surface.
What does each state charge?
All 51 jurisdictions, alphabetical. A linked state has its record sheet in this build; a queued state is waiting for its publishing batch, not hidden.

Where does each question get answered?
When is the annual report due?
Due dates print exactly as the state writes them. A verified absence reads as the checked fact it is, never as a blank cell.
queued
How long does filing take?
Queue times are dated observations, never promises. The namespace is still draft upstream, so this surface stays out of the build until its coverage row lands.
held by the publication gate
What about franchise tax?
A flat tax renders as a value. A revenue-based tax gets a badge and its filing agency, never an invented minimum.
