How this works
Panama company figures reflect 2026 published fees: formation through an attorney, notary, and Public Registry commonly runs $800 to $2,100; every Panamanian corporation pays a $300 annual franchise tax (tasa única); resident agent fees commonly run about $300 a year. Operating companies earning Panama-source income also need a Panamanian accountant. U.S. figures reflect typical state filing fees and first-year service costs. All other ranges are planning estimates for a small service or online business. Last reviewed September 2026.
Months to recover divides your high estimate by your monthly income target from the Starting Price Calculator, when you arrive from there.
