The rate has been declining from 5% in prior years, with each reduction representing a meaningful per-year saving for workers. Utah is one of several Western states that moved to or already had a flat income tax structure. The predictability of a flat rate makes paycheck calculations straightforward: taxable income times 4.65%.",[10,14,15],{},"Utah provides a nonrefundable personal exemption credit rather than a traditional deduction. For single filers, this credit is approximately $886 against the tax owed, which has a similar effect to a deduction of roughly $19,000 at the flat rate. This credit approach is different from most states and means the effective Utah rate is somewhat lower than 4.65% for most workers. A single worker earning $60,000 owes roughly $2,000 in Utah income tax after applying the personal exemption credit.",[10,17,18],{},"Utah has no local income taxes. Salt Lake City, Provo, and St. George do not add city wage taxes. The 4.65% flat rate is the complete state and local income tax picture for all Utah residents. This simplicity is an advantage for workers with jobs in multiple cities or who move frequently within the state.",[10,20,21],{},"Utah's income tax competes with neighboring states. Nevada and Wyoming have no income tax. Idaho has a flat 5.3% rate. Colorado is at 4.4%. At 4.65%, Utah sits between Colorado and Idaho and well below Oregon (up to 9.9%) or California (up to 13.3%). Workers in the Wasatch Front area who compare Utah to neighboring Nevada should expect to pay roughly $3,720 more per year in state income tax on a $80,000 salary, representing the full value of Nevada's zero rate versus Utah's 4.65%.",{"title":23,"searchDepth":24,"depth":24,"links":25},"",2,[],"How Utah's income tax affects your paycheck","md",{},true,"\u002Fstates\u002Futah",{"title":5,"description":26},"states\u002Futah","Rw11lbR6OpoJH1aGKmTDGgbKSmFo1Loag5dQWHnnw88",1776796069593]
