Common questions

How much does a Utah State University employee make?

The typical employee was paid $20,274 in 2025: half of the 8,681 people paid earned more, half earned less. Most earned between $2,850 and $63,241.

Why do so many people earn very little?

Where does this data come from, and when is it updated?

From Utah Transparency (Office of the State Auditor / Division of Finance) (utah.gov). Our figures match the agency's latest release; the agency updates it yearly, after each entity's fiscal year closes.

"Typical pay" is the median: half earn more, half earn less. "Most earn" is the middle half of workers. Figures are calculated by PublicPayData from the official dataset; 0 records with $0 or negative pay are left out. How we calculate this · Corrections & removals
