New Hampshire LLC Fees: The Full 2026 Schedule

New Hampshire is unusually tidy about money. Each filing fee is written into a statute, and the only wrinkle in the whole schedule is a $2 electronic handling charge under RSA 5:10-a that the state adds to any fee paid online through QuickStart. The figures below are the statutory amounts; remember the $2 rider when paying electronically, and you have the complete picture.

Certificate of Formation: $100

Creating the LLC means filing the Certificate of Formation, Form LLC-1, under RSA 304-C:31. The fee is $100, fixed by RSA 304-C:191. Through QuickStart the checkout total reads $102 because of the handling charge; the filing fee is still $100.

Annual Report: $100 a Year

Every New Hampshire LLC files an annual report between January 1 and April 1, with information current as of January 1 and a $100 fee (RSA 304-C:194; fee under RSA 304-C:191). File after April 1 and a $50 late fee is added. The first report comes due the year following formation, and an LLC formed between December 1 and April 1 skips that first year entirely. Two consecutive missed years and the state can administratively dissolve the company under RSA 304-C:136.

Registered Agent

RSA 304-C:36 makes the agent mandatory for the life of the LLC. With our formation service, the $199 fee includes your first year of registered agent coverage, renewing at $99/year. Taken on its own, registered agent service is $99/year.

Agent Change: $15

Moving to a new registered agent takes Form 10, the Statement of Change of Registered Office or Registered Agent, or Both, filed under RSA 304-C:36, II for $15 (fee set by RSA 304-C:191). Paid online, the handling charge applies here too.

Registering an Out-of-State LLC: $100

A foreign LLC registers with the Corporation Division for the same $100 statutory fee that domestic formation carries. Our foreign qualification service is $199 plus the state fees.

The Schedule in One Table

Paying any of these online through QuickStart adds the $2 handling charge to the transaction.

Year One, Totaled

Through us: $199 service fee plus the $100 state filing fee, $299 all told, with the first year of registered agent service already inside the $199. Filing on your own, the state's share is $100 and the agent seat is yours to arrange.

The Years After

The recurring picture is the $100 annual report each spring and $99/year for registered agent service, $199 a year with us before taxes. On taxes, note that New Hampshire's Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax can reach LLCs above the state's revenue thresholds, so factor them in as the business scales.

What We Do Not Charge For

No compliance packages you did not ask for, no rush-fee ladder, no renewal surprise. Two prices: $199 once, $99/year for the agent after the included first year.
