Good to know
- Utah’s income tax rate fell from 4.5% to 4.45% for 2026. The change was signed in March 2026 and counts from 1 January 2026. Paychecks before June 2026 were withheld at the old 4.5% rate.
- Utah has no standard deduction. Instead you get a credit worth 6% of your federal standard deduction (up to $966 for a single filer, $1,449 for a head of household, $1,932 for a married couple), plus an amount for dependents.
- The credit shrinks by 1.3 cents for every dollar of income above about $18,700 (single), $28,000 (head of household) or $37,400 (married). It is gone above roughly $93,000 (single) or $186,000 (married). This calculator includes the credit and shrinks it in the same way.
- Employers withhold a little more than this from each paycheck, because the withholding formula gives a smaller credit. A single worker earning more than about $46,700 has the full 4.45% withheld and gets the difference back as a refund.
