A closer look at household income in Utah: how it ranks among the states, what it takes to reach the top 25% or 10%, how earnings change with age, and how far apart its 29 counties are.
The median Utah household earns $95,166 a year — 11th among 51 states and DC, and 18% above the national median. Keep in mind the numbers aren't price-adjusted, so they compare incomes, not purchasing power.
A household needs around $152,216 to be in Utah's top quarter; nationwide the bar is $141,925. Nationally 13% of households are in the $200,000+ bracket; in Utah it's 14%.
For a more recent snapshot, the 2024 one-year survey shows $96,658 (+2% against the 2020–2024 average). We use the five-year figure elsewhere because it's more reliable for smaller areas.
About 14% of Utah households report income of $200,000 or more, the Census's top published bracket. By household income, the top 25% start at about $152,216, and the top 10% sit above $200,000. The table marks lines that fall above $200,000 rather than guessing their value: the Census groups everyone above that amount together, so the exact top-5% and top-1% cutoffs can't be read from this data.
On Utah's distribution, the national median income of $80,734 corresponds to roughly the top 58%.
The top-quarter line is 1.61 times the state's midpoint income, narrower than the national ratio of 1.77 — a rough gauge of how stretched the upper half of the income distribution is.

For individual workers, median earnings in Utah rise from $46,536 at ages 25–34 to a peak of $62,946 at 45–54 (+35%). Compared age-for-age with the nation, the gap averages +4% and is largest at 55–64: $59,146 here, $55,860 nationwide. These figures are personal earnings (wages plus self-employment) from Census microdata, so they're lower than household income, which can combine several earners.
