Utah Paycheck Calculator
Utah taxes income at a flat 4.45% for 2026; instead of a standard deduction it gives a taxpayer credit that shrinks as income rises.
Utah charges a flat 4.45% on taxable income for 2026, down from 4.5% under S.B. 60, passed in the 2026 session and applied back to January 1. There's no standard deduction or personal exemption. Instead Utah gives a taxpayer tax credit worth 6% of your federal standard deduction, reduced by 1.3 cents for each dollar of income above a base amount. This calculator uses the credit as it stands at $104,000 of income: $0 for single filers, $452.16 for heads of household and $1,053.54 for married couples filing jointly.

Utah Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Utah
What is the Utah state income tax rate for 2026?
A flat 4.45% for every filing status. S.B. 60, passed in the 2026 General Session, cut the rate from 4.5% and applies to the whole 2026 tax year.
How does Utah's taxpayer tax credit work?
Utah has no standard deduction. Instead you get a nonrefundable credit of 6% of your federal standard deduction ($966 single, $1,449 head of household and $1,932 joint for 2026), reduced by 1.3% of your Utah taxable income above a base amount. Utah hasn't published the 2026 base amounts yet; the 2025 ones are $18,213 single and married filing separately, $27,320 head of household and $36,426 joint, and with them a single filer's credit is gone by about $92,500 of income and a joint filer's by about $185,000. The calculator doesn't recompute the credit for your income: it uses one amount per filing status, the credit at $104,000 figured with the 2025 bases.
Does Utah withholding match this calculator?
Not exactly. Utah's withholding tables (Publication 14, for pay periods from June 1, 2026) apply 4.45% with their own allowance and phase-out in place of the credit, so the amount taken from your paycheck can differ from the tax shown here. Publication 14 gives no separate flat rate for bonuses.
What does this calculator leave out for Utah?
The credit changes with income, but the calculator uses its value at $104,000 at every income ($0 single and married filing separately, $452.16 head of household, $1,053.54 joint and qualifying surviving spouse). Single filers below about $92,500 see too much tax, by up to about $931 a year. Heads of household and joint filers see too much below $104,000 (up to about $944 and $808 a year) and too little above it, up to $452.16 and $1,053.54 a year once the credit runs out at about $138,800 and $185,000. It also starts from gross wages rather than federal adjusted gross income, and leaves out the credit for dependents, the additions for filers 65 or older or blind, itemized deductions and Utah's other credits.
