How Utah taxes your paycheck

Utah levies a flat state income tax of 4.45%. Unlike progressive states, your marginal state rate does not climb as income rises — every taxable dollar is taxed at the same 4.45%.

Local taxes: Utah's taxpayer tax credit — 6% of the federal standard deduction, phasing out above about $49,000 single / $61,000 joint — is included in this estimate.

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 single / $250,000 joint). Your own 401(k) deferrals and pre-tax health/HSA premiums are modeled in the inputs above; employer matches never come out of your paycheck.

Comparing states
