Rates checked November 2026. The state rate is 4% and has not changed since 1 July 1993. County figures come from the Department of Revenue rate chart effective 1 July 2025, with Cheyenne and Casper updated for 2026 changes noted below.
Wyoming sales tax rates by city and county
Wyoming has a 4% state sales tax. Each county may add a county option tax, a local tax that county voters approve. Each 1% is often called a penny. The usual parts are a general purpose penny for county services, a specific purpose penny for named projects, and an economic development penny. Together they can add up to 3% in one county. A city or town may add a municipal option of up to 1%. Two resort districts add up to 3% more inside their lines.
Do not use the 4% state rate alone. Most buyers pay 5% or 6%. The Department of Revenue says rates generally run from 4% to 8%. The two resort districts reach 9% on the Department rate chart.
| City | County | State | County option | Other local | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheyenne | Laramie | 4% | 1% | 0% | 5% |

How to calculate sales tax in Wyoming
The formula is simple. Multiply the taxable price by the combined rate. Then add the tax to the price.
Sales tax = taxable price x combined rate
Total = taxable price + sales tax
A $100 purchase at the 5.39% average works like this.
$100 x 0.0539 = $5.39 tax
$100 + $5.39 = $105.39 total
Worked example in Cheyenne: a $500 outdoor gear purchase at 5%.
$500 x 0.05 = $25.00 tax
$500 + $25.00 = $525.00 total
Common purchases at the 5.39% average:
| Price before tax | Tax | Total |
|---|---|---|
| $50 | $2.70 | $52.70 |
| $100 | $5.39 | $105.39 |
| $500 | $26.95 | $526.95 |
| $1,000 | $53.90 | $1,053.90 |
To remove tax from a total, divide the total by 1 plus the rate. A $105.00 total in Cheyenne at 5% works like this.
$105.00 / 1.05 = $100.00 before tax
$105.00 – $100.00 = $5.00 tax
The Department pages read for this page do not give a one-line rule for delivery charges or discounts, so check the Department vendor guidance for those two points.
Working backwards from a receipt? A $105.39 total at the 5.39% average is $100.00 before tax and $5.39 tax. Use the remove-tax mode in the calculator above for any receipt total.
What is taxed and what is exempt in Wyoming
Wyoming taxes most goods sold at retail, such as clothing, electronics, furniture, and cars. Prepared food, lodging, and admissions are taxed too. Most services are not taxed. The state taxes a set list of services, such as lodging, admissions, and repair work on goods.
Food for home use is exempt. The Department of Revenue says most food sold at grocery stores is food for domestic home consumption and is exempt under state law. Prepared food is not covered. Alcoholic drinks are not food under the law and are taxed.
Prescription drugs and gasoline are exempt from sales tax. Goods bought for resale are exempt when the buyer gives a proper exemption certificate. Some purchases for manufacturing or mining may also be exempt, if the buyer meets the state rules.
How to look up the exact rate for an address
The Department of Revenue publishes a rate chart by locality on its Sales/Use/Lodging Tax Rates page. It lists each county and town with the state part, the county option parts, and the total. Use that chart for the current figures.
The same page says its address lookup is under work, so there is no working official address lookup right now. Use the rate chart by locality instead, and match the county and town lines to your address.
Sales tax holidays and rate changes
Wyoming has no sales tax holiday. There is no tax-free weekend in Wyoming. No holiday is planned for 2026.
The state rate has been 4% since 1 July 1993. What changes is the local part. County voters can approve, renew, or drop a local penny, and the combined rate changes with it.
Cheyenne fell from 6% to 5% in February 2026, and Casper fell from 6% to 5% in July 2026. The statewide combined average fell between January and July 2026, after several counties lowered local rates.
Lodging tax in Wyoming
A hotel room pays two taxes in Wyoming: the general sales and use tax, and a lodging tax.
The lodging tax has a 5% statewide assessment. The state keeps 3% and the local area keeps 2%. Counties may also approve local lodging pennies of up to 2% for travel and tourism promotion.
A $100 room in Albany County carries $6.00 of general sales tax and $7.00 of lodging tax, on the Department rate chart effective 1 July 2025. The room costs $113.00 in total.
Sales tax on cars and private party vehicle sales
Wyoming charges sales tax on a car purchase at the same rate as other goods: the 4% state rate plus the county option tax where the buyer lives. A private party sale pays the same tax as a dealer sale.
The tax is based on the purchase price shown on the bill of sale. The county clerk handles the title.
A $10,000 car bought from a private seller in Cheyenne at 5% owes $500.00 in sales tax.
$10,000 x 0.05 = $500.00 tax
For the full vehicle rules, see the car sales tax calculator guide on this site.
Filing and use tax
A seller files through WYIFS, the Wyoming Internet Filing System. The Department sets the filing frequency when it issues the sales tax license, based on how much tax the seller collects.
Monthly filers pay by the last day of the month after the reporting period. Quarterly filers pay by 31 January, 30 April, 31 July, and 31 October. Annual filers pay by 31 January.
Use tax is the partner of sales tax. It is a self-reported tax on goods bought outside Wyoming for use in Wyoming, where no Wyoming tax was paid. It is charged at the same rate as the sales tax where the item is used.
Wyoming has no state income tax
Wyoming has no state personal income tax and no state corporate income tax. That is one reason the state leans on sales tax, property tax, and mineral taxes. It does not change the sales tax rate.
