Utah Salaries
How Utah salaries compare to the national market
Utah trade wages run about 2% below the national median (BLS OEWS May 2025), and this calculator applies a 0.98 Utah wage index to national medians. Utah has run one of the country's hottest construction markets for a decade: the Silicon Slopes technology corridor and its data centres, the Salt Lake City airport rebuild, and relentless population growth along the Wasatch Front have kept every trade in short supply. On the tax side, Utah withholds Flat 4.55%, trimmed in recent sessions, with no local wage tax on top.
