Utah Paycheck Calculator

Utah taxes income at 4.5% and then subtracts a taxpayer credit. The full credit on the January 2026 table is $966 single and $1,932 joint, which is 6% of the federal standard deduction. The credit phases out as income rises. The phaseout thresholds used here are the 2025 dollar amounts printed in the Tax Foundation footnote, because the 2026 thresholds were not in that table.
