Taxes on a Utah paycheck
Utah has a flat 4.45% income tax for 2026. Withholding subtracts a base allowance that phases out as wages rise. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How Utah withholding is figured
- Withholding is 4.45% of wages minus a base allowance that shrinks by 1.3% of wages over a threshold (Pub 14 schedules). For a biweekly paycheck the allowance is $19 single or $37 married, reduced above $360 or $719.
- Utah uses your federal W-4 filing status: married filing jointly uses the married schedule and everyone else the single schedule.
