How Utah taxes your paycheck

Utah levies a flat state income tax of 4.55%. Unlike progressive states, your marginal state rate does not climb as income rises — every taxable dollar is taxed at the same 4.55%.

Local taxes: Utah offsets its flat tax with a taxpayer tax credit that phases out at higher incomes; this estimate uses the headline rate.

The federal side

Every U.S. worker pays federal income tax (2026 single-filer standard deduction: $16,100, brackets from 10% to 37%), Social Security at 6.2% of wages up to $184,500, and Medicare at 1.45% (plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000). Employer 401(k) matches, health premiums, and HSA contributions reduce taxable income and are not modeled here.

Comparing states

At the same $60,000 salary, take-home pay can differ by thousands of dollars a year between states. Browse all state paycheck calculators to compare, or convert offers on the salary to hourly calculator.
