How Vermont paychecks are taxed in 2026
Vermont taxes income on a graduated state schedule for 2026, applied after the state deduction for your filing status. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Vermont take-home pay.
Vermont uses a graduated income tax with 4 brackets for 2026, with marginal rates ranging from 3.35% to a top rate of 8.75% (which applies to single-filer taxable income above $249,700). For 2026, Vermont's state standard deduction is $7,650 for single filers and $15,300 for married couples filing jointly. As a worked example, a single filer earning $60,000 pays about $1,850 in Vermont income tax (roughly 3.1% of gross) before federal tax and FICA.
Adjust your filing status, pay frequency, and gross wage above to update the breakdown.
What this estimate doesn't include: State tax only. Vermont's $5,300-per-person personal exemption is NOT modeled — estimates run slightly high. Head-of-household bracket thresholds are approximated with the single schedule (VT's HoH schedule differs slightly).
Estimates for general guidance only — not tax advice. This calculator approximates withholding using 2026 federal brackets, the standard deduction, and FICA. Simple mode covers wages, filing status and state tax; switch to Advanced to factor in pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA/FSA, health premiums), dependent/W-4 credits, extra withholding and post-tax deductions. It still does not model local (city/county) taxes or itemized deductions. Verify with a tax professional or the IRS.
