How much is Utah state income tax?

4.5% for 2026, charged on every dollar of taxable income rather than in bands. There is no deduction or exemption, so the first dollar is taxed at the same rate as the last.

What is take-home pay on $75,000 in Utah?

Utah takes about $3,375 a year at that salary — 4.50% of gross — before federal tax and FICA. Enter your own figure above for the per-paycheck answer.

Is Utah a high-tax state overall?

On income, Utah takes 4.50% of a $75,000 salary. But the whole burden is three taxes: sales tax here is 7.42% combined, 20th of fifty, and property tax 0.48%, 48th of fifty. The two pull in opposite directions, which is why a single ranking of "tax-friendly states" tells you little about your own household.

Is this the same as what my employer withholds?

Close, not identical. Withholding follows the W-4 you filed and your state’s equivalent form, which can carry allowances, extra withholding or a second job adjustment this page does not know about. The annual tax is what settles on your return; withholding is an instalment against it.

The form that sets your state withholding

There is none. With no state income tax there is nothing to elect, and your federal W-4 is the only withholding form a Utah employer needs from you.

What Utah charges as well

Income tax is one of three. The other two do not come out of a paycheck, but they decide what the paycheck buys.

Sales and property tax in Utah
Sales tax, state plus average local	7.42%	20th of fifty
Property tax on median home value	0.48%	48th of fifty

The state rate is 6.1% and local jurisdictions add 1.32% on average, reaching 7.42% where you shop. Property tax is among the lightest at 0.48% — about $1,920 a year on a $400,000 home. Work yours out on the property tax calculator.

Withholding is an instalment, not the bill. What the year actually settles at is on the refund calculator, and the dates it settles on are the federal tax deadlines.

What this does not include

Utah is flat at 4.5% with no standard deduction and no personal exemption. Relief comes instead as a credit worth 6% of your federal standard or itemised deduction, which phases out above $18,213 of AGI single.
Because the relief is a credit rather than a deduction, this calculator’s effective rate for Utah is slightly higher than the figure on your return.
No local income tax.
