Utah Window Tint Checker (2026)
The legal tint limit for every window position in Utah (35% on the front sides), checked against your own film's VLT, with the medical exemption and what a ticket costs.
Utah window tint checker
VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.
Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Utah window limit, or read the limits as they stand.
Utah restricts only the two windows to the immediate left and right of the driver (at least 35%) and the windshield (at least 70%). Every window behind the driver may be any darkness.
Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the Utah figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.
Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Utah window tint reference, cited to Utah Code §41-6a-1635.
How the Utah tint rules work
Utah keeps its tint rules short. Only two windows carry a darkness limit: the front side windows next to the driver must allow at least 35%, and the windshield must let in more than 70%. A peace officer metering the glass gives you a 5% cushion. Everything behind the driver can be as dark as you like, and the windshield may carry a non-transparent strip along the top down to the AS-1 line or 4 inches, whichever is lower.
This checker applies the Utah figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. For the full rules, the shades table, and the citations, see the Utah window tint reference, cited to Utah Code §41-6a-1635.
