Utah Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Estimate your Utah take-home pay after federal tax, Social Security and Medicare.

Utah taxes wages at a flat 4.45% in 2026 and then subtracts a taxpayer credit worth 6% of the federal standard deduction plus a personal exemption, which shrinks by 1.3 cents for every dollar of income above $18,213 for single filers ($36,426 for married filing jointly). The exemption and thresholds are 2025 figures and are adjusted for inflation each year. Dependents and other credits are not modeled.
