How to calculate your sales tax rate
Use our online sales tax calculator to determine the combined state and local sales tax rate for each location where you have a physical or economic nexus. Just enter your state and ZIP code to get your sales tax rate.
Example of using the sales tax rate in a tax calculation:
- Let’s say you’re selling a jacket in Wyoming with a base price of $50.
- The base state sales tax rate is 4%.
- Calculate the sales tax: $50 (price) x 4% (tax rate) = $2.00 (sales tax)
- Final price: $50 (price) + $2.00 (sales tax) = $52.00 (total price)
Nexus: Why may you need to collect sales tax in Wyoming?
If you’re selling goods and services in Wyoming then sales tax might apply! To determine your obligation, you need to understand “nexus,” which ties businesses to states for tax purposes.
Two types of nexus exist:
- Physical Nexus: Having a physical presence, like an office, warehouse, or employees in Wyoming, triggers this type. If you do, you likely need to collect sales tax.
- Economic Nexus: This kicks in when your sales within Wyoming exceed a certain economic threshold. Even without a physical presence, surpassing this threshold requires collecting sales tax.
In Wyoming, there is also a transaction threshold of 200, which means that even if your sales aren’t over $100,000 if you’ve sold more than 200 items then you still need to pay sales tax.

They must collect sales tax at checkout and file returns electronically. If you buy something taxable out of state but use it in Wyoming, you might owe use tax.
What is use tax in Wyoming?
Applies to taxable goods you purchase outside Wyoming, but intend to use, store, or consume in Wyoming. Since there was no sales tax collected at the time of purchase, you are responsible for paying use tax to the state of Wyoming.
