Vermont Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Vermont applies a progressive state income tax with four brackets and a top marginal rate of 8.75% on the highest incomes. The 8.75% top rate is one of the higher state-only rates among states that do not also stack a broad city or county income tax layer. Vermont has no State Disability Insurance program funded by employee payroll deductions, and no Vermont city levies a separate local income tax on wages. Property tax and sales tax provide much of the state and local revenue alongside income tax. This calculator estimates 2026 Vermont take-home pay after federal tax, FICA, and the state's progressive income tax. It supports pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions, single and married filing jointly, and standard or itemized deductions.

vs. baseline ($85,000 single filer)

A $85,000 salary in Vermont takes home approximately $4,100 less than the same salary in a no-income-tax state like Texas or Florida.
