Wisconsin state guide
Wisconsin vehicle sales/use tax
Wisconsin applies 5% state sales/use tax plus applicable county/local tax based on where the vehicle is customarily kept. A qualifying trade-in allowance reduces taxable price; manufacturer rebates remain taxable.
Title and registration
The calculator includes the current $214.50 title fee and $85 automobile registration baseline. EVs add $175 and hybrids/PHEVs add $75; local wheel tax is not fabricated.
Worked example
A $30,000 purchase with a $5,000 qualifying trade uses $25,000 before applying the state plus applicable local rate.
