About StateDues
StateDues works out what an LLC or corporation owes each year to stay in good standing in California, Delaware, Wyoming, Texas, Nevada, New York, and Florida: franchise tax, annual report fees, and the deadlines for each. The guides are written and reviewed by Srikanta M.. StateDues is independent and has no connection to any state agency.
Where the numbers come from
Every rate, fee, threshold, and due date comes from the statute or the agency page that publishes it. That means the California Franchise Tax Board and Secretary of State, the Delaware Division of Corporations, the Wyoming Secretary of State, the Texas Comptroller, and the equivalent offices in Nevada, New York, and Florida. Each guide lists its sources at the bottom so you can check them yourself.
Agencies don't always publish next year's figures on time. When a current-year number isn't out yet, the page uses the most recent published year and says which year it is.
How the calculators are checked
The calculators have unit tests for the rules in each statute: the $800 California minimum franchise tax, the gross-receipts brackets for the California LLC fee, and the Authorized Shares and Assumed Par Value methods for Delaware, along with the other states' minimums and tiers. We run the tests before publishing changes to a calculator.
The math runs in your browser using the numbers you type in. It can't see your books, so a result is only as accurate as the inputs.
What StateDues doesn't do
We aren't a law firm or an accounting firm, and nothing here is advice about your situation. For that, talk to a CPA or a business attorney.
The done-for-you filing option is a request form. Sending it doesn't file anything or charge you. We email you with the total cost, and nothing is filed until you approve and pay.
How the site makes money
Some pages link to business services: Mercury for banking, Northwest Registered Agent, Pulley for cap tables, Kruze Consulting for accounting, and Gusto for payroll. We may earn a commission if you sign up through those links. The calculators don't know about partners and never factor them into a result. The full disclosure is on the disclaimer page.
Corrections
Tax rules change every year, and we will get something wrong eventually. If a figure, deadline, or statute citation looks out of date, send the page URL and a link to the official source through the contact page. We check it against the source, fix the page if it's wrong, and update the page's review date.
