Utah state income tax rate 2027.
Utah’s flat rate from the official source, with the 2026 figures and a labelled projected 2027 column.
Short answer: Utah taxes wages at a flat 4.45% for 2026 (a single bracket for single and joint filers). No different 2027 schedule is enacted yet, so the 2027 column carries the 2026 schedule forward and is labelled projected.

The Utah schedule
Enrolled S.B. 60 (2026 General Session) amends Utah Code 59-10-104(2) to 4.45% (previously 4.5%), effective May 6, 2026 with retrospective operation for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Flat rate, same for all filing statuses; no dollar edges.
Single filers
| Taxable income | Rate, 2026 | Rate, 2027 (projected) |
|---|---|---|
| All taxable income | 4.45% | 4.45% |
Joint filers
| Taxable income | Rate, 2026 | Rate, 2027 (projected) |
|---|---|---|
| All taxable income | 4.45% | 4.45% |
Deductions, exemptions and local tax
Utah’s standard deduction, exemption and credit amounts are not stated here because they were not read from the Utah tax agency’s own pages on November 9, 2026. Use the state’s current return instructions. None of them is modelled.
None; Utah has no local income tax.
What changes in 2027 (projected)
S.B. 60 sets 4.45% with no separate 2027 rate; no further reduction is enacted in text read.
The 2027 column above carries the 2026 schedule forward. That is a projection, not an enacted 2027 schedule, and it is labelled that way wherever it appears.
Worked example (2026 schedule)
A single filer with $80,000 of Utah taxable income owes $3,560 under the 2026 schedule, an effective rate of 4.45% and a marginal rate of 4.45%. A joint filer with $150,000 of Utah taxable income owes $6,675 under the 2026 schedule, an effective rate of 4.45% and a marginal rate of 4.45%. The 2027 projection for the same incomes is the same dollar amount ($3,560 and $6,675) because the 2026 schedule is carried forward.
Common mix-ups
- Utah's rate is 4.5% in 2026. S.B. 60 lowered it to 4.45%, retroactive to January 1, 2026; 4.5% was the 2025 rate.
- The rate cut only applies from when it was signed. The bill takes effect May 6, 2026 but has retrospective operation for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
- Utah has graduated brackets. Section 59-10-104 multiplies state taxable income by a single rate.
Method
The tool applies each bracket rate only to the slice of income inside that bracket, adds the slices and divides by income for the effective rate; the marginal rate is the rate of the bracket that contains your income. The 2027 line uses the 2026 schedule and is shown as projected. Nothing you type is sent to our servers; the maths runs in your browser.
