Blank optional fields count as $0. Enter all known charges for a useful estimate. Figures are in USD; taxes and unentered charges are excluded. No provider prices are prefilled.

Ready when you are.

Enter both subscription amounts, add expected usage and other fees, then compare.

How the estimate works

Monthly cost is the subscription plus scan overages, forwarding handling, estimated postage, and other monthly charges. First-year cost adds setup charges and any entered registered-agent fee. Renewal-year cost uses the renewal subscription and renewal agent fee, with no repeated setup charge.

The same usage is assumed for all 12 months in each year. For a short introductory offer, use a weighted average monthly subscription. An optional agent charge is a budget entry, not a conclusion that you need a paid agent.

Price is only one part of the choice

Confirm business-name eligibility, address acceptance, pickup hours, package limits, and cancellation terms before buying. A lower estimate does not establish that an address works for state filings, banking, or customer visits.

Get the numbers at the source

Check the plan at the exact location: Anytime Mailbox, iPostal1, or your chosen provider. If you need an agent, compare the separate contract at Northwest or another provider.

About HomeBase

HomeBase helps US freelancers and solo home-business owners choose business mailing arrangements. We connect address-purpose guides, a setup checklist, and a worksheet using your quoted fees. Formation and insurance guides support the wider setup process. Our provider comparisons use published sources and do not claim hands-on testing.

Our checklist is a planning aid. State agencies, local authorities, financial institutions, and service providers determine their own requirements.

Your privacy

Your setup-finder answers stay in this browser session. The setup finder does not save your answers to a server. The optional contact form collects your name, email, topic, message, and email preferences so HomeBase can respond. In this local preview, inquiries are stored on this computer and no email is sent. The local preview records page views and tool or provider-link actions using an anonymous tab-session identifier. Questionnaire answers, costs, contact details, referral URLs, and IP addresses are not stored in these metrics. Local reporting honors the browser’s Do Not Track signal. The shared static cloud copy does not collect these metrics. No advertising cookies are used. We do not send contact submissions to mailbox providers.

Our hosting provider may process technical request information to serve and protect the site. Fonts load from Google Fonts. Provider websites have their own privacy and tracking policies.

Affiliate disclosure

HomeBase may earn a commission when you sign up through a qualifying affiliate link, at no additional cost to you. Links with approved tracking URLs may earn commissions; unconfigured links use ordinary provider pages.

Use the guides to compare services and check current terms directly with each provider. No provider has endorsed this checklist.
