Utah owns more than it owes.

Utah's Taxpayer Surplus™ is $5,500, and it received a "B" from TIA.

Utah is a Sunshine State with enough assets to cover its debt.

Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Surplus™, which is each taxpayer's share of money available after state bills have been paid.

TIA's Taxpayer Surplus™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.

Utah has $11.9 billion of assets available to pay the state's bills totaling $6.6 billion.

Utah has $5.4 billion available after bills have been paid, which breaks down to $5,500 per taxpayer.

Utah's reported net position is overstated by $635.7 million, largely because the state delays recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases.

The state's financial report was released 148 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered timely according to the 180 day standard.
