How Utah paycheck taxes work
Utah taxes wages at a flat 4.50%, reduced by a taxpayer credit worth 6% of your federal deductions that phases out above $18,213. Every Utah employee still pays federal income tax on income above the $16,100 standard deduction (single), 6.2% Social Security up to $184,500, and 1.45% Medicare on all wages. Flat 4.5% on federal adjusted gross income (Utah State Tax Commission, "January 1, 2025 - current"). Utah has no standard deduction and no personal exemption; instead it grants a taxpayer tax credit of 6% of federal deductions and exemptions, withdrawn at 1.3% of income above a threshold. That credit is modelled here. The 2026 thresholds are not yet published, so the 2025 amounts are used ($18,213 single, $36,426 married filing jointly, $27,320 head of household); they are indexed annually, so the figure can be a few dollars out at incomes near the phase-out.
