    Utah income tax in 2026

    Utah taxes income at a flat 4.5%. Instead of a standard deduction, Utah gives a taxpayer credit that phases out as income rises.

    What makes Utah different

    Utah has cut its flat rate several times in recent years, to 4.5%. Rather than a standard deduction, Utah uses a taxpayer tax credit that shrinks as income rises, so most full-time workers end up paying close to the full 4.5% on all of their income. Utah has no local income taxes.

    • Utah taxes income at a flat 4.5% (cut from 4.55% by H.B. 106 in 2025).
    • Instead of a standard deduction, Utah gives a taxpayer credit of 6% of your federal standard deduction, which phases out at 1.3 cents per dollar of income above $18,213 (single, 2025 threshold); this is included.
