What else an LLC owner pays
The fees above are what the state charges the LLC. The bigger cost is tax on the profit: a single-member LLC pays the same income tax and self-employment tax as a sole proprietor. At $100,000 of profit that comes to $22,608 a year in Nevada, fees included. An S corp election can lower it: LLC vs S corp in Nevada.
Annual list $150 plus State Business License $200 = $350 a year. The initial list and first business license ($350) are due with the articles, so first-year cost is $425.
