Utah uses a flat state income tax (tax kind: flat) on taxable wages after the deductions and exemptions encoded on the state model. The single-filer state standard deduction we encode for Utah is $0 (zero in this model). The model does not apply a personal exemption. This model also subtracts a taxpayer credit of $966 for a single filer (phaseout omitted). Data note from the model: Utah taxpayer credit phaseout is not modeled. Federal tax still uses the IRS 2026 standard deduction and brackets; FICA is 6.2% Social Security up to the SSA wage base plus 1.45% Medicare.

Labeled estimate: about $78,280.00 take-home per year ($1,505.38 per week) for a single filer. Utah W-2 employees checking a flat rate minus the taxpayer credit we model (phaseout omitted).
