State income tax not included
We do not yet have a sourced bracket schedule for this state, so we are not estimating its income tax. A wrong state figure is worse than none. Federal and FICA figures above are complete and sourced; your true net pay will be lower than gross by more than the amounts shown, so we are not displaying a net figure for this state.

Is Utah a good state for travel nurse pay?
Utah averages $1,800/week with a 4.85% state income tax and a cost-of-living index of 98.3. Whether it beats a no-tax alternative depends on the rate gap — run both offers through the calculator to compare take-home directly.
Do I pay Utah taxes as a travel nurse from another state?
Generally yes — you pay Utah income tax on money earned there, and your home state typically credits it against your home liability. You won't usually be double-taxed, but multi-state filing is why many travelers use a travel-nurse-specialized tax preparer.
