Wyoming Sales Tax Calculator 2026 – how it works
Wyoming’s sales and use tax is applied as a flat percentage to the taxable purchase amount at the state level. The statewide component applies uniformly, and the state sales tax and state use tax operate at the same rate. Sales tax generally applies to taxable transactions occurring within Wyoming. Use tax applies to taxable purchases made outside Wyoming when the property is used within Wyoming. Official guidance for the statewide system is maintained by the Wyoming Department of Revenue – Excise Tax Division.
Examples
An estimate based on the statewide component applies the state rate to a taxable purchase amount to calculate the state portion of the tax. For taxable purchases made outside Wyoming and brought into the state for use, the same statewide rate applies to the taxable base. When additional voter-approved local taxes apply, the combined rate on a transaction can be higher than the statewide component alone.
Limitations and important notes
Results are simplified estimates and may not match the final tax due. This estimate reflects only the statewide component and does not account for any additional voter-approved local taxes that may apply in a specific jurisdiction. It also does not determine whether a particular transaction is taxable, which depends on how Wyoming law and administrative guidance apply to the facts of the transaction. Rounding practices and transaction-specific details can affect the final amount reported and remitted.
FAQs about Wyoming Sales Tax Calculator 2026
What does the Wyoming sales and use tax rate represent?
The rate described here refers to the mandatory statewide component of Wyoming’s sales and use tax system. It is applied as a flat percentage to the taxable purchase amount at the state level and is separate from any additional voter-approved local taxes that may apply.
How does use tax relate to sales tax in Wyoming?
In Wyoming, the state sales tax and the state use tax operate at the same statewide rate. Sales tax generally applies to taxable transactions occurring within Wyoming, while use tax applies to taxable purchases made outside Wyoming when the property is used within the state.
Why can the total sales tax be higher than the statewide rate in Wyoming?
Wyoming allows local jurisdictions to impose additional voter-approved taxes. When those local taxes apply, the combined rate on a transaction can be higher than the statewide component alone. An estimate based only on the statewide rate reflects the state portion of the tax.
Does this estimate determine whether a transaction is taxable in Wyoming?
No. A simplified estimate based on the statewide rate does not determine taxability. Whether a transaction is taxable depends on how Wyoming law and administrative guidance apply to the specific item or service and the facts of the transaction.
