Why Nevada collects three fees on day one
Many states charge a single formation fee. Nevada splits it in three. The $75 articles fee comes from NRS 86.561. The initial list, $150, is due when the articles are filed (NRS 86.263). The state business license, $200 for an LLC, is obtained when that initial list is filed (NRS 76.100). Together that is $425, and all three can be submitted at once.

Year two and beyond
Every year after, the annual list is $150 and the license renewal is $200: $350 in state fees. There is no franchise tax and no state income tax. Over five years an LLC pays $425 + 4 x $350 = $1,825 to the state, before any registered agent or local license.

Costs people forget
Most Nevada cities and counties issue their own business license, with local fees. If you sell taxable goods you register with the Department of Taxation. A fictitious firm name filing with the county clerk is needed if you use a trade name. A registered agent is needed if you lack a Nevada street address.

When Nevada costs more than you expect
If you live and operate in another state, forming in Nevada usually means registering at home as a foreign LLC and paying both states each year. Nevada makes the most sense for companies that actually operate in Nevada or have a specific reason to be here.
