Utah Hourly Paycheck Calculator
Your hourly rate and hours in, your take-home pay out. Overtime is paid at 1.5× your rate; tips you report are taxed like wages.
= $650.72 a week · $2,819.80 a month · $33,837.60 a year
Gross pay$1,600.00$41,600.00
Your pay before anything is taken out: yearly pay divided by the 26 paychecks in a year (hourly pay is a week's pay × 52, spread the same way).
Federal income tax · withheld−$108.15−$2,812.00
Worked out from your pay and your Form W-4 with the IRS percentage method (Worksheet 1A): yearly pay, minus the allowance for your filing status, into the 2026 annual table, minus W-4 credits, divided by paychecks. Each line, for this paycheck:
| Pay subject to income tax, for the year · $1,600.00 × 26 paychecks | $41,600.00 |
| Minus the IRS withholding allowance · Pub 15-T Worksheet 1A, line 1g | −$8,600.00 |
| Adjusted yearly wage | $33,000.00 |
| Tax from the IRS yearly table · standard table | $2,812.00 |
| Federal income tax per paycheck · divided by 26 | $108.15 |
IRS Publication 15-T (2026), Worksheet 1A - the percentage method payroll software uses for a Form W-4 from 2020 or later. Your employer's figure can differ by a few cents because of rounding.
Adjusted yearly wage: $33,000.00, so this row applies:

Hourly pay in Utah
Utah's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, the same as the federal rate. Tipped workers can be paid $2.13 an hour as long as their tips bring them up to $7.25. Workers under 18 can be paid $4.25 an hour for their first 90 days on the job.
Overtime. Overtime pay after 40 hours a week comes from federal law. The Utah Labor Commission handles overtime claims only when there's an agreement or policy to pay it, and sends federal overtime questions to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Every hour counts. Utah tax is a percentage of your pay, so extra hours raise it - and on a smaller paycheck, they also shrink the credit a little.
Minimum wage after taxes in Utah
At Utah's minimum wage of $7.25 an hour (since July 24, 2009), a full-time worker takes home about $525.63 every two weeks - $13,666 a year, or $6.57 for each hour worked after tax. No increase is scheduled.
| Minimum wage, $7.25/hour | Gross per paycheck | Take-home per paycheck | Take-home a year | After tax per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 hours a week | $580.00 | $525.63 | $13,666 | $6.57 |
| 30 hours a week | $435.00 | $400.72 | $10,419 | $6.68 |
| 20 hours a week | $290.00 | $267.81 | $6,963 | $6.70 |
Paid every two weeks, single filer, standard W-4, no benefits. Tipped workers can be paid $2.13 an hour in cash if tips bring them to the full minimum; their tax depends on the tips they report. Every state's figures: minimum wage after taxes by state.
Take-home at common hourly rates in Utah
Full time (40 hours a week), paid every two weeks, single filer with a standard W-4 and no benefits. The last column is what you keep for each hour worked.
| Hourly rate | Take-home per paycheck | Take-home a year | Kept per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| $7.25 (minimum wage) | $525.63 | $13,666 | $6.57 |
| $15 | $1,003.05 | $26,079 | $12.54 |
| $18 | $1,181.89 | $30,729 | $14.77 |
| $20 | $1,301.45 | $33,838 | $16.27 |
| $22 | $1,421.01 | $36,946 | $17.76 |
| $25 | $1,601.85 | $41,648 | $20.02 |
| $30 | $1,905.25 | $49,536 | $23.82 |
Part time and overtime at $20 an hour in Utah
Every two weeks, single filer, standard W-4. Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the rate. More hours mean a larger share is withheld, because withholding is worked out as if each paycheck were repeated all year.
| Hours a week | Gross per paycheck | Take-home per paycheck | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 hours | $800.00 | $697.72 | 87% |
| 30 hours | $1,200.00 | $1,003.05 | 84% |
| 40 hours | $1,600.00 | $1,301.45 | 81% |
| 40 hours + 5 overtime | $1,900.00 | $1,525.50 | 80% |
| 40 hours + 10 overtime | $2,200.00 | $1,753.55 | 80% |
Because hours change from week to week, your withholding changes too: a week with lots of overtime is withheld as if you earned that much every week, so more comes out. It usually evens out when you file your return.
Tips and overtime in 2026
New federal deductions apply for 2025 through 2028: up to $25,000 for qualified tips, and up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers) for the extra "half" of time-and-a-half overtime. Both phase out above $150,000 of income ($300,000 joint).
These are deductions on your tax return. Your employer still takes Social Security and Medicare out of tips and overtime, and still withholds income tax unless you tell it otherwise. If you expect to claim them, you can put the expected amount in Step 4(b) of your W-4 (and in the Step 4(b) box above) so less income tax is withheld during the year.
Every line that comes out of an Utah paycheck, with its official source, is set out on the Utah paycheck calculator.
