Vermont Paycheck Calculator
From gross salary to the number that actually hits your bank account
Vermont taxes personal income at progressive rates ranging from 3.35% to 8.75% for the 2025 tax year, making it one of the higher state income tax states in the country. Like the federal system, Vermont uses graduated brackets — only the income that falls within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate.
For single filers in 2025, Vermont's brackets (after the standard deduction of $14,600) are roughly: 3.35% on income up to about $53,225, 6.60% on income from $53,225 to $123,525, 7.60% on income from $123,525 to $253,525, and 8.75% on income above $253,525. Vermont conforms closely to federal adjusted gross income before applying its own deductions.
Beyond state tax, Vermont workers also pay federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) — the same FICA taxes as every other state. Compared to no-income-tax states like Florida or Texas, Vermont residents earning the same salary keep noticeably less in their paychecks.
Worked example — $75,000 salary, single filer: After Vermont's $14,600 standard deduction, taxable income is $60,400. Vermont tax owed is approximately $2,130 (effective state rate 2.8%). Combined with federal income tax (roughly $8,900 at this income level) and FICA ($5,738), total deductions are around $16,768 — leaving an estimated annual take-home of about $58,232, or roughly $4,853 per month. These are estimates; actual withholding varies by W-4, credits, and employer benefits.
Practical example — Vermont
A Vermont single filer earning $75,000 in 2025 pays roughly $2,130 in state income tax (effective rate ~2.8%), plus federal taxes and FICA, resulting in an estimated annual take-home of about $58,200 — compared to around $61,000–$62,000 for the same earner in a state with no income tax.

What are Vermont's income tax brackets for 2025?

How much is taken out of a paycheck in Vermont?
A Vermont employee earning $75,000 per year (single, no extra withholding) can expect roughly $16,000–$17,000 in combined federal income tax, Vermont state income tax, Social Security, and Medicare withheld annually, leaving a take-home of approximately $58,000–$59,000.
How does Vermont compare to states with no income tax?
States like Florida, Texas, and Nevada collect no state income tax, so a $75,000 earner there keeps several thousand dollars more per year than an equivalent Vermont earner. Vermont's high top rate of 8.75% places it among the more aggressive taxing states in the U.S.
Is Vermont's income tax flat or progressive?
Progressive. Vermont taxes higher income at higher rates, with four active brackets from 3.35% to 8.75%. The effective (average) state tax rate is always lower than the top marginal rate because lower income layers are taxed at lower rates first.
