Utah Income Tax Calculator
Utah income tax is calculated on your taxable income after deductions and exemptions. This calculator estimates your Utah state income tax liability for the current tax year. Enter your annual gross income, choose your filing status (single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, or head of household), and add any pre-tax deductions to see your estimated state tax, effective tax rate, and marginal bracket. Results update in real time as you adjust your inputs. The calculator covers Utah state income tax only; federal income tax, FICA payroll taxes, and any local income taxes your city or county imposes are separate. All rates and brackets are sourced directly from Utah State Tax Commission and are verified for the current tax year. Use this tool alongside the federal income tax calculator to see your combined total tax liability. Effective rate and marginal rate are both shown so you can evaluate the impact of additional income, filing status changes, or increased pre-tax contributions to a 401(k) or similar plan.
Utah applies a flat income tax rate of 4.55% to all taxable income. On a $60,000 salary (single filer) the state income tax is $2,730.00, an effective rate of 4.55%.
How Utah income tax works
Utah taxes all individual taxable income at a flat rate of 4.55% under Utah Code §59-10-104. This rate has been unchanged since 2008, when it was reduced from 5.35% as part of a major simplification of Utah's income tax structure. Utah taxable income is based on federal adjusted gross income with Utah-specific additions and subtractions. Rather than a standard deduction, Utah provides a nonrefundable Taxpayer Tax Credit that offsets a portion of the tax owed.

taxable income = gross income - standard deduction
state income tax = taxable income x flat rate / 100
