How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Median household income

$95,1662020–2024 estimate

Median money income received by Utah households, expressed in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars.

This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.

Method and limitations

U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the American Community Survey 2020–2024 five-year estimate.

  • Income is not take-home pay and does not directly measure taxes, wealth, prices, or purchasing power.
  • A statewide median obscures regional and household differences.

Is income keeping up with prices?

Real income adjusts for price levels and inflation. Disposable income subtracts personal current taxes but does not subtract household living expenses.

How Utah raises taxes

S.B. 60 reduced Utah's individual-income-tax rate from 4.5% to 4.45% beginning in 2026. Revenue comparisons rank dollars collected, not statutory tax rates or a particular household’s tax burden.

Personal income-tax collections

Revenue collected under the Census tax classification. Missing item codes in the complete state-level file mean no reported amount.

State governments only, Census level 2; amounts converted from thousands to dollars. Fiscal-year ending dates differ among states. Larger collections reflect population, income, tax bases, and rates; they are not inherently better.

How federal income taxes work

A marginal rate applies only to taxable income within its band. Moving into a higher bracket does not apply that rate to all your income.

Base standard deduction

Tax year 2026 · Single

Marginal versus effective rate

The bracket table applies to ordinary taxable income after deductions, not to gross wages or Census household income.

2026 ordinary taxable-income bands · Single
Marginal rateTaxable income in this band
10%Up to $12,400
12%Over $12,400 through $50,400
22%Over $50,400 through $105,700
24%Over $105,700 through $201,775
32%Over $201,775 through $256,225
35%Over $256,225 through $640,600
37%Over $640,600

Selected filing statuses only. Rates exclude preferential capital-gain rules, credits, alternative minimum tax, payroll taxes and state/local taxes. The base deduction does not include extra amounts for age, blindness or other eligibility. Tax year 2026 returns are generally filed in 2027.

Blue bars show tax shares; gray bars show income shares. Both use a 0–100% scale. Each share column totals approximately 100% after rounding. The bottom group includes zero and negative AGI.

What is included, and how are the groups calculated?

IRS total income tax includes income tax after specified credits, limited to zero, plus net investment income tax and tax on accumulation distributions of trusts. Refundable portions of credits are excluded. This is tax liability, not withholding, refunds received or all government revenue. Payroll, corporate, estate, excise, and state/local taxes are outside this measure. Paying little federal income tax does not mean paying no taxes.

FactVote subtracts adjacent IRS cumulative totals to form the separate groups. For example, the 95th–99th percentile equals the top 5% minus the top 1%. Average rates are then calculated from each group’s tax and AGI, rather than subtracting the published average rates. Historical groups contain different returns over time. Figures are sample estimates and rounded source amounts can introduce small differences.

$1 billion and above0.2%80.0%$368.84B82.2%

All six groups are separate. Blue bars show tax shares; gray bars show receipts shares, both on a 0–100% scale. Shares sum to approximately 100% after rounding. The smallest group includes zero receipts and receipts not reported.

How this differs from the individual income-tax breakdown

The individual section groups returns by adjusted gross income. This section groups corporate returns by business receipts; neither the income concepts nor the tax totals are interchangeable. No effective tax rate is calculated by dividing corporate tax by sales.

S corporations generally pass income through to owners and are excluded here, as are REITs and RICs. Their exclusion does not mean their owners pay no tax. This section therefore describes the IRS table’s covered corporations rather than every business or every dollar of corporate-tax revenue. It does not estimate how the economic burden is shared among shareholders, workers and customers.

FactVote combines adjacent IRS size bands and sums published amounts; no suppressed values are used. Figures are sample estimates. Returns may use different accounting periods, and company size and nominal dollar values change over time. Small differences from totals reflect source rounding.

The broader federal tax burden

Individual income tax is one part of a household’s federal taxes. Compare income, payroll, corporate and excise taxes as a percentage of each group’s income.

Calendar year 2022 · CBO estimates · Latest available in this release: 2022. These household groups use a different income definition from the IRS tax-return groups above.

Average federal tax rates · Percent of income before means-tested transfers and taxes
Income group Individual income Payroll Corporate Excise Combined rate
Lowest fifth−10.1%9.5%0.8%1.3%1.4%
Second fifth−0.9%8.8%0.8%0.8%9.5%

Highest fifth16.6%6.1%2.9%0.3%25.9%
All households10.6%7.5%2.1%0.4%20.6%

Combined-rate bars share a fixed −30% to +30% scale, centered at zero. Blue = net tax; teal = net payment to households. Negative individual income tax reflects refundable credits. Components may differ from the combined rate by 0.1–0.2 points because CBO rounds each figure separately.

How this comparison is measured

CBO combines tax records and household survey data. Each rate divides the group’s total tax by its total income; it is not a simple average of individual rates. Income includes earnings, investment income and social insurance benefits, including some noncash benefits. The employer share of payroll taxes is attributed to workers. Corporate-tax allocation reflects modeling assumptions, not directly observed household payments.

The four tax types covered 90% of federal revenue in fiscal 2022. Estate and gift taxes, customs duties and other federal sources are outside this comparison, as are state/local taxes. Households with negative income are excluded from the five individual groups but included in “All households.” Do not average the five group rates to calculate the national rate.

Is after-tax income keeping up with prices?

Real disposable income per person tracks average income available for spending or saving after personal taxes, adjusted for inflation. A rise means average purchasing power increased; it does not mean every household is better off.

Monthly observations are seasonally adjusted and expressed at an annual rate; $52,849 is not one month’s income. BEA’s measure is broader than cash take-home pay and differs from Census money income and CBO household resources elsewhere on this page. Personal taxes include federal, state and local personal taxes; this is not calculated by subtracting the CBO table from Census income.

Income before and after taxes and benefits

Compare average household resources within each income group: starting income, plus means-tested benefits, minus federal taxes. These are accounting comparisons, not predictions of what incomes would be without those programs.

Calendar year 2022 · Average per household · All amounts in 2022 dollars. Gray = before; blue = after. Both bar columns use the same zero-to-$450,000 scale.

Before + means-tested benefits − federal taxes = after · Rounded CBO estimates
Income group Before + Benefits − Taxes After
Lowest fifth$26,200$19,000$400$44,800
Second fifth$59,100$9,600$5,600$63,100
Middle fifth$94,000$5,600$12,600$87,000
Fourth fifth$143,100$3,000$25,100$121,100

All households$143,000$7,900$29,400$121,500

“Before” already includes social insurance, including Social Security and Medicare. “Benefits” adds means-tested programs only, including cash and noncash assistance from federal, state and local governments. The tax column covers federal taxes only. CBO uses PCE inflation adjustment; amounts are rounded to the nearest $100, so the displayed equation can differ by $100–$200. Negative-income households appear in the national total, not the five separate groups.

Tax credits and measured poverty

A deduction reduces taxable income. A credit reduces tax directly; a refundable credit can also result in a payment when the credit exceeds the tax owed. Census estimates how counting these payments changes the number of people below its Supplemental Poverty Measure threshold.

Original-release estimates: These figures use the thresholds in Census’s September 2025 report. Thresholds were corrected in July 2026; these are not revised credit-effect estimates. Read the revision notice ↗

Refundable tax credits · 2024 · Original September 2025 release
Age group Fewer people below the threshold 90% margin of error
All ages6,768,000±462,000
Under 183,704,000±263,000
Ages 18–642,985,000±224,000
Ages 65+79,000±25,000

Bars start at zero and share a fixed 0–7 million people scale. “All ages” includes the three age groups below it. Refundable credits combine EITC and the refundable Child Tax Credit; the CTC-only estimate overlaps and must not be added to the combined estimate or subtracted to infer an EITC-only effect.

The SPM counts taxes, selected noncash assistance and necessary expenses, with thresholds that vary with housing and location. This differs from the official poverty measure based on pretax money income. The 2023 and 2024 counts also use different population controls, so a difference combines demographic changes and methodological updates. No year-to-year effect is calculated here.

Understanding Utah income

Median, average and per person

The median describes the middle household. Per-capita income is a population average, including children. BEA personal income also includes sources outside Census money income. These measures answer different questions.

Income, taxes and living costs

Before-tax money income is not take-home pay. Disposable personal income subtracts personal current taxes. Real personal income adjusts for prices. A state income-tax rate does not describe sales taxes, local property taxes, federal taxes or a household’s complete tax burden.

Annual and five-year estimates

The Utah ACS comparison pools 2020–2024 and expresses income in 2024 dollars. BEA annual history describes individual calendar years. A difference between the two series is not an income change.

Rankings and uncertainty

#1 means the highest measured value, not the best state. Survey ranks use point estimates; nearby values may not be distinguishable after sampling uncertainty. Larger tax collections can simply reflect a larger population or tax base.

Hard-working people should be able to afford the basics—housing, health care, groceries, and a secure retirement. Too many are falling behind. I’m focused on tackling the affordability crisis by standing against Trump’s tariffs that are driving up the cost of groceries and everyday items, by expanding access to housing that’s affordable, lowering health care costs, strengthening retirement security, and pushing back on economic policies that reward corporations while driving up prices for everyone else. Donald Trump’s tax giveaways to the wealthy have made the rich richer while working families struggle. I will fight for an economy that helps Utah’s working people thrive.

Inflation is a tax on working families, and it's caused by government overspending and artificial restrictions on American production. I will oppose reckless federal spending and push for a balanced budget — but the fastest way to bring prices down is to increase supply. When we unleash American energy production, reduce barriers for manufacturers, and get out of the way of farmers and small producers, we create more of everything — and more supply means lower prices across the board for every Utah family. The federal government didn't build this economy, the American worker did. My job in Congress is to make sure Washington stops making their job harder.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific income, wages and tax policy terms in retained, attributed source text from published Utah candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

State Employee Maternity and Leave Amendments

Mar 24, 2026 · Enacted

Rep. Ariel Defay · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

Removes foster placement as an event making a state employee eligible for paid parental leave and creates a separate foster leave category with a four-week paid-leave duration; allows two state employees who jointly adopt or foster a child to share a single paid leave period rather than each receiving a separate leave entitlement.

Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.

Why this record is included

Wages and cash benefits can be components of household money income. Census income is measured before taxes, so tax relief alone is not an increase in this statistic; the provision does not determine the statewide median. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Utah evidence context: Median household income. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Low Income Housing for Defense Communities Act

Rep. Blake D. Moore · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

Excludes military basic housing allowances from specified affordable-rental eligibility calculations and expands the low-income housing credit for buildings near qualifying large military installations.

Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Why this record is included

Gross rent includes contract rent and tenant-paid utilities. Rental protections, assistance, and housing supply concern components of rental-market conditions; they do not set Utah’s median rent. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

FactVote reviewed summary

Repeals the sunset date on the Volunteer Emergency Medical Service Personnel Health Insurance Program.

Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.

Why this record is included

The fact measures residents under 65 without health insurance. Insurance eligibility, enrollment, coverage continuity and premium assistance concern the covered population. Provider payments and covered services alone do not establish a coverage change, and Medicare-only changes mostly concern a different age population. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Fuel Tax and Supply Amendments

Mar 23, 2026 · Enacted

Rep. Calvin Roberts · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

Enacts provisions related to permitting and right-of-way coordination for certain oil and gas infrastructure; reduces the rate of the motor fuel tax; requires refineries to report to the Office of Energy Development regarding production; provides guidelines regarding information and data reported by refineries to the Office of Energy Development.

Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.

Why this record is included

The fact is the EIA Rocky Mountain regional regular-gasoline price, including taxes, covering Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. Utah policy concerns only one state in that regional measure; this is not a Utah statewide average. Fuel taxes, fees, supply and retail pricing rules concern components of pump prices; they do not determine the regional average. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Utah evidence context: Rocky Mountain regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Utah officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Utah statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 6, 2026.
