How to calculate your Utah income taxes

Understanding your Utah income taxes

Utah has adopted a flat income tax rate system. As of now, the state income tax rate in Utah is a flat 4.95%, regardless of the level of an individual’s income. This simplifies the income tax filing process and makes tax calculations straightforward for individuals and businesses alike.

The state of Utah does not have a payroll tax. Additionally, there are no local income taxes imposed on residents, allowing earners to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Utah offers several tax credits but no standard deductions or personal exemptions like you would find in a progressive tax system.

Calculate your income tax in Utah

  1. Work out your total federal income tax
    1. Gross income adjusted
      Gross income − Pre-tax deductions = Gross income adjusted
    2. Federal taxable income
      Gross income adjusted − Federal standard/itemized deductions = Federal taxable income
    3. Federal income tax liability
      Federal taxable income × Federal income tax rate = Federal income tax liability
    4. Federal payroll tax liability
      Gross income × Federal payroll tax rate = Federal payroll tax liability
  2. Calculate your total Utah state income tax
    1. Utah state taxable income
      Gross income adjusted − (Utah state standard/itemized deductions + Utah state exemptions) = Utah state taxable income
    2. Utah state income tax liability
      Utah state taxable income × Utah state income tax rate = Utah state income tax liability
  3. Add up all the taxes
    Federal income tax liability + Federal payroll tax liability + Utah state income tax liability = Your total income tax liability
