How Vermont taxes a paycheck

Vermont taxes wages in brackets, 3.35% to 8.75% for a single filer. Each rate applies only to the part of taxable income inside its bracket.

A single filer subtracts a $7,650 standard deduction before the state rate applies.

The personal exemption for a single filer is $5,300.

Vermont income tax brackets, single filer
Taxable income (single)RateTaxable income (joint)
Up to $49,4003.35%Up to $82,500
$49,400 to $119,7006.6%$82,500 to $199,450
$119,700 to $249,7007.6%$199,450 to $304,000
Over $249,7008.75%Over $304,000

Federal income tax uses the IRS 2026 brackets and standard deduction. Social Security is 6.2% of pay up to $184,500 a year and Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000.

What the Vermont figure includes

  • Vermont taxes Vermont taxable income at 3.35%, 6.60%, 7.60% and 8.75% for tax year 2025 (2025 IN-111 instructions, tax rate schedules X, Y-1, Y-2 and Z).
  • Standard deduction for 2025 is $7,650 single or married filing separately, $15,300 married filing jointly, $11,450 head of household. The personal exemption is $5,300 a person (IN-111 line 5e), including other dependents on line 5c.
  • The booklet works a married filing jointly example: $85,000 of Vermont taxable income is $2,929 of tax, which is the $2,764 printed at $82,500 plus 6.60% of the $2,500 excess.
  • Above $150,000 of federal adjusted gross income Vermont charges the greater of the schedule and 3% of that AGI. On a wage-only return with these deductions the schedule is already higher, so the floor is noted rather than modelled.
  • The additional standard deduction for age or blindness, the charitable contribution credit and Vermont school district taxes are not modeled. The starting point is gross wages.
  • The department had published the 2025 IN-111 and not a 2026 schedule at verification, so this row declares the 2025 schedule.

Vermont paycheck questions

How much is taken out of a paycheck in Vermont?

On the Vermont median wage of $56,390 (BLS, May 2025), paid every two weeks, about $398.31 of a $2,168.85 paycheck goes to tax: $176.42 federal income tax, $165.92 Social Security and Medicare, and $55.97 Vermont income tax. That leaves $1,770.54.

This assumes a single filer with the standard deduction and no pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) or health premiums, which would lower both the tax and the check.

Does Vermont have a state income tax?

Yes. Vermont taxes wages in brackets, 3.35% to 8.75% for a single filer. Each rate applies only to the part of taxable income inside its bracket. The rules come from Vermont Department of Taxes.

What is the Vermont income tax rate for 2026?

For a single filer the rates run 3.35% to 8.75%, using the 2025 schedule, the latest Vermont Department of Taxes had published when these figures were checked. The bracket table on this page shows where each rate starts.

How much is $1,000 a week after taxes in Vermont?

About $820.27 a week, or $42,654 a year, for a single filer with the standard deduction in 2026. Federal income tax takes about $78.08 a week and Social Security and Medicare $76.50; Vermont income tax about $25.16.

Why is my real paycheck different from this estimate?

Employers withhold with the IRS percentage method and your W-4, not with an annual estimate split into pay periods. Pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k), health insurance or an HSA lower your taxable pay, and bonuses are often withheld at a flat supplemental rate. Over a full year the two should come close; a single check can differ.
