Post-judgment interest
Wyoming's post-judgment interest rate is 10% per year. Wyo. Stat. §1-16-102 supplies a 10% general post-judgment branch from rendition. A qualifying contract judgment can use the contract rate, and specified child-support or maintenance judgments can carry no interest. The statute does not establish one universal compounding, day-count, or payment-allocation method, so this page does not enable a general payoff calculator.

Prejudgment interest
Wyoming's prejudgment interest rate is 7% per year (fixed by statute). Wyo. Stat. §40-14-106(e) supplies a 7% legal-rate reference when an agreement does not set a rate. Wyoming prejudgment entitlement arises from the governing obligation and case law, not from that percentage alone. A claim generally must be readily computable without opinion or discretion before the rate can be used.
