What the $160 is made of

Wyoming’s $160 figure is a single statutory charge, not a total assembled from parts. It is shown here with its own provision named, and with the neighbouring charges the Wyoming schedule prices separately — the ones a filer is most likely to add to it by mistake, or to be quoted alongside it.

Added together, these come to $160 — the figure this page headlines. If any component changed in the source, the sum would no longer match, and the build withholds the total rather than publishing a number whose parts no longer add up.

Charges the $160 figure leaves out

These amounts appear in or beside the same Wyoming schedule, so a reader can easily mistake one for part of the fee. Each is held out of the figure above for the specific reason given, which is the difference between an honest total and an inflated one.
