Ask what a Wyoming LLC’s annual report costs and the answer that comes back almost everywhere is $60. That figure is real, but it is a floor, not a flat fee. The report is officially tied to a license tax calculated off the value of your LLC’s assets located and employed in Wyoming, and $60 is simply what that calculation produces for any LLC below a certain asset threshold. Above it, the number changes, and none of the guides that quote “$60” flat mention where that threshold sits.
Here is how the fee is actually calculated, when the report is due, and what happens if it gets missed.
What the annual report actually confirms
The Wyoming annual report is not a tax return on income and does not ask what your LLC earned during the year. It confirms your registered agent and principal office address are current and calculates the license tax owed based on your in-state assets. It is a compliance filing, the same category as the annual reports covered in our Florida LLC annual report guide, not an income filing.
The deadline moves with your formation date
Unlike Florida, where every LLC in the state files by the same May 1 deadline regardless of when it formed, Wyoming ties the due date to the LLC’s own anniversary. The report is due on the first day of the calendar month in which the LLC was originally formed. An LLC formed on March 15 files by March 1 every year after, an LLC formed in September files by September 1. There is no single statewide date to circle on a calendar, which means the deadline that matters is specific to your formation paperwork, not a date you can borrow from a guide like this one.
The fee most guides oversimplify
The license tax is $60 or 0.02 percent of the value of assets located and employed in Wyoming, whichever is greater. Multiply out what that actually means: 0.02 percent is two-hundredths of one percent, or $0.0002 per dollar of in-state assets. An LLC with $300,000 or less in Wyoming assets lands at exactly $60, since the percentage calculation comes out lower than the flat minimum. Above that threshold, the percentage takes over. An LLC holding $1 million in Wyoming assets owes $200, not $60. One holding $5 million owes $1,000.
For the large majority of small LLCs, especially the non-resident-owned holding companies covered in our guide to forming an LLC as a non-US resident, actual in-state assets rarely clear six figures, so $60 is the real number in practice. But “always $60” and “$60 below a $300,000 asset threshold” are different claims, and only one of them is accurate. If your LLC holds real property, equipment, or significant inventory physically located in Wyoming, run the calculation before assuming the flat minimum applies. Filing online also adds a convenience fee on top of the license tax itself, typically in the $2.25 to $8.95 range depending on payment method.
How to file on WyoBiz
Filing runs through the Annual Report Wizard on WyoBiz, the state’s business filing portal, not through a generic form. You need your Secretary of State Filing ID, which the Wizard can help you locate through its Name Search if you do not already have it on hand. From there, you confirm or update your principal office and mailing address, since a stale address is one of the more common reasons owners miss the delinquency notice entirely, and enter the value of assets located and employed in Wyoming so the Wizard can calculate the license tax for you rather than you doing the math yourself.
What happens if you miss it
An LLC becomes delinquent starting the second day of the month after its due date. The state’s practice, based on current filing guidance, is to send a delinquency notice and give the LLC 60 days from that notice to file and pay before moving to administrative dissolution. Sources differ on the exact size of the late penalty itself and on the reinstatement fee once an LLC has been dissolved, with figures cited anywhere from $25 to $100 depending on the source and whether interest has accrued, so treat any specific number here as approximate and confirm the current figure directly on WyoBiz before assuming what you owe.
What is consistent across sources is the consequence of letting dissolution happen: reinstatement requires filing the overdue report, paying whatever back fees and penalties have accumulated, and confirming a valid registered agent, similar to the process covered in our guide to changing a registered agent. It also means no certificate of good standing is available until the whole thing is resolved, since the state will not certify an LLC as current while a filing is outstanding.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Wyoming LLC annual report fee always $60?
No. $60 is the minimum, which applies when in-state assets are $300,000 or less. Above that threshold, the fee is 0.02 percent of the value of assets located and employed in Wyoming, whichever is greater than $60.
When is my Wyoming LLC annual report due?
On the first day of the calendar month in which your LLC was originally formed, every year going forward. The date is tied to your specific formation month, not a single statewide deadline.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
Your LLC becomes delinquent the second day of the following month, triggering a delinquency notice with roughly 60 days to file before the state moves toward administrative dissolution. Exact penalty amounts vary by source, so confirm the current figure on WyoBiz directly.
Do I need to report my LLC’s income on the Wyoming annual report?
No. The report confirms your registered agent and address and calculates the license tax based on in-state asset value. It is not an income tax filing.
