How Utah taxes your paycheck in 2026
Utah charges a flat 4.5% on income, with a taxpayer credit that helps lower and middle incomes.
- Utah cut its rate from 4.55% to 4.5% in 2025 — the latest in a series of reductions.
- Instead of a standard deduction, Utah gives a credit worth 6% of your federal standard deduction (about $966 for single filers). It shrinks by 1.3 cents for each dollar of income above about $18,200.
- Utah cities don't tax wages.
