Utah Paycheck Calculator

Paycheck taxes in Utah

Utah's flat rate for tax year 2026 is 4.45% — Senate Bill 60 cut it from 4.50%, with retrospective operation for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Utah has no conventional standard deduction or personal exemption; it instead offers a taxpayer tax credit that phases out with income, which this estimate does not model, so lower earners may owe slightly less than shown.

Bonuses and supplemental wages in Utah

Bonuses and other supplemental wages are frequently withheld differently from regular pay, and states set their own rules. This calculator applies Utah's regular withholding to every dollar and does not model a separate supplemental rate, so a bonus paycheck can come out higher or lower than the figure above. Federal supplemental withholding is a flat 22% up to $1 million; for Utah's own treatment, check the state authority linked below.

For the federal half, which this site does model, compare what withholding takes from a bonus against what you actually owe — the 22% flat rate is withholding, not a tax bill, and the difference comes back at filing.

Federal income tax and FICA are identical in every state, so the whole gap above is state income tax. Single filer, $100,000 of wages, no 401(k) or other pre-tax deductions, 2025 state tables. Local income taxes (city and county) are not included. Run your own salary through the calculator above, or on any state's page.

Neighbours are only part of the picture. The study behind these figures ranks what a $100,000 salary takes home in all 50 states, with Utah's row in place — the entire spread between best and worst is state income tax, since federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere.

A worked example at Utah's median income

Utah's median household income is $104,000 (2024, U.S. Census Bureau via FRED (real median household income)). Run through the same engine as the calculator above (single filer, taxes only):

That is an effective all-in tax rate of 25.6% at the median — your own number depends on filing status, 401(k), and benefits. Enter your salary above for the exact figure.
