How Utah withholding works

Utah withholds state income tax at a flat 4.45% of taxable wages, by the state's own withholding method.

The calculator needs no Utah form answers to work out its withholding.

401(k) contributions, health premiums, and HSA contributions all lower the wages Utah taxes, as they do for federal income tax.

For a bonus paid on its own check, Utah withholding is worked out by the aggregate method: the bonus is added to a regular paycheck and taxed together.

Worth knowing in 2026

From June 1, 2026, withholding moved from a flat 4.5% to a flat 4.45%.

Utah cut its rate from 4.5% to 4.45% back to January 1, 2026, but the new withholding schedules apply only to pay periods starting on or after June 1, 2026. Employers don't adjust the earlier paychecks.

Questions

How much Utah income tax comes out of my paycheck?

It depends on your pay. On a $60,000 salary paid every two weeks, single with no extras, about $103.00 of each $2,307.69 paycheck goes to Utah income tax.

What is the take-home pay on $40,000 a year in Utah?

About $1,256.00 a paycheck, or $32,626 a year, if you're paid every two weeks, file single, and have no pre-tax deductions. Change the calculator's answers to match your own pay.

Is this my annual tax bill?

No. It calculates paycheck withholding: what your employer takes out of each paycheck under IRS Publication 15-T and the state's withholding rules. What you finally owe is settled when you file your tax return.
