#### Formulas Used
1. Adjusted Base Application Fee: adjustedBaseFee = baseFee[serviceType] × entityModifier[entityType]
2. Multi-State Registration Fee: multiStateFee = (statesCount − 1) × (300 + 50 × statesCount)
3. Surety Bond Premium: bondPremium = bondAmount × bondPremiumRate[serviceType] (Rates: 1.0%–2.5% depending on industry risk)
4. Liability Insurance Premium: insurancePremium = insuranceBase[serviceType] + min(0.002 × annualRevenue, 50,000)
5. Compliance & Regulatory Costs: complianceTotal = (employees × $25) + (500 + statesCount × $100)
6. Annual Renewal Cost: renewalFee = (adjustedBaseFee × 0.40) + (multiStateFee × 0.50) + bondPremium + insurancePremium + complianceSoftware
7. Total First-Year Cost: totalFirstYear = adjustedBaseFee + multiStateFee + bondPremium + insurancePremium + complianceTotal + legalFee + expediteFee
