Three arithmetic planning examples

Formation year: $99 plus the state fee

The current formation package lists a $99 ABS service charge and includes the first registered-agent year. The government filing fee is not included in the $99 and is not estimated on this page.

Later recurring year: $225 plus the state fee

When both services are needed, the $125 registered-agent renewal plus $100 annual-report handling equals $225 in ABS service charges. Clients may order only the applicable work, and any state annual-report fee stays separate.

Bookkeeping year plus an income return: starts at $1,427

Twelve months at the published $69 monthly starting rate equals $828. Adding the $599 starting rate for a federal return with income produces $1,427. Cleanup, additional filings, and other work remain outside this arithmetic example unless included in writing.

How to use the planner

  1. Select only the service rows that match the work needed.
  2. Keep government charges and optional work outside the ABS subtotal.
  3. Use the subtotal for planning, then rely on the written scope and checkout amount for the actual order.
