Utah paramedic and EMT salaries by employer, 2025-26

• Full-year paramedics average $96,416.

  103 of the 277 people in paramedic titles worked the full year, overtime included in their pay.¹

• 443 people hold EMT titles, but too few worked the full year.

  Many of Utah's ambulance services run on part-time and on-call EMTs. Where most of an employer's people were paid less than $32,000 in the year, we can't tell who worked the full year, so its pay figures are left out.¹

• Firefighter-paramedics average $90,856.

  888 firefighters at 33 fire departments have a title that names paramedic duties. They're counted in the section below, never in the paramedic and EMT figures.¹

Highest paramedic and EMT salaries in Utah: the top employers by total pay and by county

• Pay here is total pay, overtime included.

  Utah's file has one wage figure per person, so base pay and overtime can't be shown on their own.¹

• Who worked the full year is our best estimate.

  The file has no hours or start dates. We count someone as full-year when they worked for the same employer the year before, were paid at least 90% as much, and were paid at least a full year at the minimum wage.² Steady part-timers paid above that can still pass the test: 0 of the 104 full-year paramedics and EMTs were paid under $25,000.

• Employers report different years.

  Each employer shows the newest full year it has published: fiscal year 2026 for 16 employers and fiscal year 2025 for 17 employers. Where an employer's 2026 figures looked like part of a year, we show 2025. State figures combine both years.

• There are no official pay ranges.

  The file lists each person's title and pay, not the employer's pay scale, so these pages show what paramedics and EMTs were paid, not what a job can pay.

• Titles were sorted by hand.

  The file has no departments and cuts some long titles short, so we decided each title one by one. Firefighters whose title names paramedic duties are counted on their own; firefighter titles that name EMT duties, volunteer, reserve and instructor titles are left out.

Firefighter-paramedics are counted on their own, outside every figure above them. EMTs: too few worked the full year at employers whose figures we can read.
