Wyoming sales tax rates at a glance
How sales tax works in Wyoming
Wyoming has one of the lowest combined sales tax rates in the US with a 4% state rate.
Because local rates vary, the 5.36% figure is an average rather than a rate you will always be charged. Enter the exact rate for your city or county in the calculator when you need a precise figure — the difference between the 4% state floor and the local maximum is what makes Wyoming sales tax awkward to estimate by hand.

A receipt totalling $105.36 at 5.36% breaks down to $100.00 before tax plus $5.36 tax.
To remove sales tax, divide the total by 1.0536 rather than subtracting 5.36% — subtracting the percentage from the gross figure gives the wrong answer.
