Filing

Get formation 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.

Get the expected fees for a formation before submitting. Useful for displaying cost upfront or for billing reconciliation.

Fees are broken down by component (base, dynamic, late, credit_card, ach). Only components that apply to the jurisdiction are returned.

Extra inputs. Some jurisdictions price the filing on share count, par value, or authorized capital and need additional query parameters:

authorized_shares — required by DE/MA/MI/VA corporations
par_value and par_value_type — required by DE corporations
authorized_capital — required by DC/MO corporations
expedited_tier — optional everywhere; surfaces an expedited dynamic-fee component when the state offers expedited processing

When required inputs are missing, the endpoint returns 400 listing them.
