Each state has its own formula for determining your weekly benefit amount: how much money you will receive each week as your unemployment benefit. Typically, your weekly benefit amount is some percentage of your earnings during the entire base period or the quarter of the base period in which you were paid the most. 

To calculate your weekly benefit amount in Utah, divide your wages from the highest quarter of the base period by 26, then subtract $5.
