How Vermont taxes your paycheck
Vermont uses 4 income tax brackets (3.35% to 8.75%) for 2026. The rate applies to your taxable wages, which start from your pay and then subtract a standard deduction of $7,650 for single filers and $15,300 for married couples filing jointly, and a personal exemption of $5,300 ($10,600 for a couple) and $5,300 for each dependent.
| Taxable income (single filer) | Vermont rate |
|---|---|
| $0 to $49,400 | 3.35% |
| $49,400 to $119,700 | 6.6% |
| $119,700 to $249,700 | 7.6% |
| $249,700 and above | 8.75% |
Married couples filing jointly use wider brackets in Vermont, so a couple often pays a lower share than the single-filer table above shows.
Other taxes: Vermont's state sales tax rate is 6%, and the average combined state and local rate is 6.39% (as of January 1, 2026; Tax Foundation). A paycheck is only one part of what you pay in taxes in a year.
Source for the rates and deductions: Tax Foundation, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets, 2026. State rules change, so check the Vermont Department of Taxes for filing and withholding rules.

Ways to keep more of your pay in Vermont
- Use a traditional 401(k) or 403(b). Each $1,000 you contribute lowers your federal taxable pay and your Vermont taxable pay.
- Use payroll benefits. Health insurance premiums, an FSA and an HSA paid through payroll lower your taxable pay.
- Check your W-4. If you get a very large refund or a bill every April, adjust your withholding. Our guide to reading your paycheck shows how.
- Check how Vermont withholds. Some states have their own withholding form and others follow the federal W-4. Your payroll department or the Vermont Department of Taxes can tell you which applies.
- Compare job offers after tax, not before. A job in Vermont that pays $5,000 more can leave you with a different gain than the number suggests. Use the calculator above for both.
