Free FFL startup tool
FFL Startup Cost Calculator
Build an editable first-year startup budget across verified application fees, insurance, software, storage, security, inventory, and basic marketing.
Use this before buying software or inventory.
Every number is an editable planning input—not legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice. Verify current fees and local requirements before relying on the result.
Your Inputs
The calculator does not preload an application fee because fee schedules and the appropriate license type require current, authoritative verification. Local zoning, insurance, taxes, state requirements, and formation costs also vary.
For a lean home-based FFL, the most controllable costs are software, hardware, marketing, and inventory timing.
