What is Wyoming's sales tax rate?

Wyoming's statewide base sales tax is 4%. Counties may add optional general-purpose and specific-purpose taxes, so combined rates typically range from 4% to 6% depending on where the sale takes place.

Are groceries taxed in Wyoming?

No. Wyoming exempts most unprepared food (groceries) from state and county sales tax. Prepared food, restaurant meals and most other goods are taxable, so this tool lets you toggle the grocery exemption.

Which county has the highest sales tax?

Counties that have enacted both the optional general-purpose tax and a specific-purpose tax reach the high end of the range. The exact combined rate depends on which optional levies voters have approved in that county.

Is the combined rate based on where I buy or where I live?

Wyoming sales tax is destination-based for most transactions, meaning the rate is set by the location where the buyer takes possession of the goods. For in-store purchases that is the store's county.

Does Wyoming tax services?

Wyoming taxes some services and most tangible goods, but many professional services are exempt. This calculator handles the general goods rate; check the specific taxability of a service before relying on the estimate.

Wyoming keeps sales tax relatively simple: a 4% statewide base plus optional taxes that counties can add by voter approval. This calculator applies the correct combined state-plus-county rate to your purchase and, because Wyoming exempts groceries, lets you toggle the food exemption so unprepared food is taxed at zero.

How it works

The tax is a straightforward percentage of the pre-tax price:

sales tax = price × combined rate
total = price + sales tax

The combined rate is built from two parts:

State base — 4%. Applies everywhere in Wyoming.
County optional taxes. Counties may add a general-purpose tax and specific-purpose taxes, pushing the combined rate up to roughly 5–6%.

If you mark the item as groceries (unprepared food), the calculator applies Wyoming’s exemption and charges no sales tax, since unprepared food is exempt statewide.

Notes and example

A $200 taxable purchase in a county with a 6% combined rate incurs $12.00 in sales tax for a $212.00 total. The same $200 spent on groceries is exempt — $0.00 tax. Because Wyoming sales tax is destination-based, the rate that applies is the one at the location where you take possession of the goods, which for in-store buying is the store’s county. County optional rates change as voters approve or sunset levies, so verify the current rate for large purchases.
