Utah Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Utah
What is the Utah state income tax rate?
Flat 5% on all taxable income with no standard deduction. A taxpayer credit (calculated from the federal deduction and exemptions) reduces the effective rate for most filers.
Does Utah tax retirement income?
Utah taxes most retirement income, including Social Security benefits, though a tax credit is available for lower-income retirees. This makes Utah less retirement-friendly than some neighboring states.
How does Utah's taxpayer credit work?
Utah's taxpayer credit is calculated as a percentage of the federal standard deduction and personal exemptions, effectively reducing your state tax. It functions similarly to a deduction but is applied as a direct credit against your tax liability.
Is Utah's 5% rate competitive?
Utah's 5% flat rate is moderate — lower than many states with progressive tax systems but higher than neighboring Nevada (0%) and Wyoming (0%). The rate is straightforward and easy to calculate.
