Calculate Cost For Plates

How To Calculate What a License Plate Will Cost


You can calculate a registration fee for a vehicle by accessing our Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator. Wyoming Statutes dictate the calculation of all registration fees. Therefore, the fees are the same no matter what county a vehicle is registered in. However, the county that collects the fees keeps and distributes the money to the taxing entities in their county. Therefore, residents are encourages to register vehicles in the county where they reside.

Registration fees consist of two parts: a county fee and a state fee.

County Fees


The county fee is a tax based on the value of the vehicle and is calculated using the following formula:
  • Factory Cost
    x Year of Service Rate
    x 0.03                     
    County Fee
A new vehicle having a factory cost of $20,000 would have a county fee of:
$20,000 X 60% X .03 = $360.00
