Get foreign qualification fee estimate

⚠️ Early access — This endpoint is in preview and may change in backwards-incompatible ways before it is marked stable. Avoid depending on it in production, and reach out before building on it.

Estimate the government fees for registering an existing business in a state before submitting.

Fees are broken down by component (base, dynamic, late, credit_card, ach); only the components that apply to the jurisdiction are returned. fee.total is the all-in grand total assuming credit-card payment. It is always an estimate.

Omit expedited_tier and, where the state offers expedited processing, the response includes expedited_tiers: a menu of { tier, fee } where fee is the added surcharge for that speed. Pass expedited_tier to fold one tier’s surcharge into the components instead; a tier the state does not offer returns 400, the same as on the create endpoint.

Any other query parameter is forwarded to the fee calculation as an extra input; a 400 lists any input the state requires that was not supplied. Send an input with an empty value to state that it does not apply, such as business_start_date= for a business that has not started operating in the state, where the state lets it be blank. Returns 404 where no fee data is available for the jurisdiction.

Where the business operated in the state before registering, states that publish how the late fee is calculated price it as the late component, a line named late_filing_fee in fee.items, from business_start_date and the date of the estimate. States whose filing office may charge a late fee but does not publish the amount return it under warnings instead, apart from the fee lines and outside fee.total; Palm asks you to approve such a fee before paying it.
