How Vermont taxes wages
Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The calculator uses a standard deduction of $7,650 for a single filer and $15,300 for joint filers and a personal exemption of $5,300 ($10,600 joint). Vermont’s rates run from 3.35% to 8.75%. The standard deduction is $7,650 ($15,300 joint) on the January 2026 table. High-income filers may owe the greater of the regular tax or 3% of federal AGI. That alternative minimum is not applied here. Source: Vermont Department of Taxes.
What is not in the state income tax number
The state line here is income tax only. Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T, and Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state. Vermont has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.
