Running tally by year
Service fees only, from each company's prices read November 13, 2026. None of the totals cross in ten years.
Break-even check
Set the years and the calculator adds year one and the renewals for every row, plus the EIN application if you tick it.
What Alaska itself charges
State fees over three years, as booked here: filing, then the next two reports, then minimum tax where the state has one.
Notes on the order
Jobs ticked off put Mainstay Filing in row one. That column carries 28% of the sort, and three-year tally, renewal step, break-even tally and price on the page make up the rest.
AK Registered Agent.org nets less over three years yet leaves the biennial report with you.
Add the EIN application and AK Registered Agent.org turns into the lower total from year 2.
Alaska LLC filing fee and rules (official)
The filing is the Articles of Organization (Form 08-484), the fee is $250 and the office is the Alaska Secretary of State. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
From: per akleg.gov (booked August 2026 to the ledger)
If you file it yourself
Filing yourself leaves only the state's fees, $350 over three years. A service adds $397 to $597 to take on the paperwork and the agent role.
