State fees with sources

Charge	Cell	Source
Formation charge	$85	sos.ks.gov [read October 2026, table note]
Information report	$90 every two years	sos.ks.gov [read October 2026, table note]
Three-year state total	$175	Calculated from the lines above

The state's share over three years is built from the filing fee, the reports owed in years two and three and any yearly minimum tax. Items with no fixed price, such as newspaper publication, are described in the text and left out of the sum.

Notes on the order

Filing work per row put Mainstay Filing first. That column is 30% of the sort, and three-year row total, renewal gap, row crossover and cell clarity make up the remainder.

KS Registered Agent.org costs less over three years but the information report would still be yours to file.

With the EIN application in the math, the swap comes in year 2, when Mainstay Filing passes KS Registered Agent.org.
