Wyoming Real Estate Math
Practice Questions & Answers (2026)
Real estate math questions appear on every Wyoming real estate exam and test a focused set of calculations: commission splits, prorations (property tax, rent, interest), loan-to-value ratios, appreciation and depreciation, and area calculations. The Wyoming Real Estate Commission does not provide a calculator — but the math is designed to be workable without one if you know the right formulas. Wyoming candidates consistently lose points on proration questions because they apply the wrong day-count convention (360-day vs. 365-day year) or miscalculate the seller's vs. buyer's share. Work through every problem in this section until you can solve each type without hesitation.

Explanation
Seller owes taxes from January 1 through August 31 (8 months). Daily rate = $3,600 ÷ 360 = $10/day. 8 months × 30 days = 240 days. Seller's proration = 240 × $10 = $2,400.
