On Vermont's median household income of $85,260, a single filer takes home $65,565 a year — $5,464 a month — after $9,927 in federal income tax, $6,522 in Social Security and Medicare, and $3,245 in Vermont income tax.

That is an effective all-in rate of 23.1% for 2026 federal rules and 2025 Vermont rules, taxes only — no 401(k), health premiums, or other deductions. Your own figure depends on filing status and pre-tax contributions.

Paycheck taxes in Vermont

Vermont has four brackets from 3.35% to a top rate of 8.75% (above $242,000 single / $294,600 joint in 2025), with its own inflation-indexed standard deduction and a $5,100-per-person exemption. 2025 legislation expanded credits but left the rate schedule unchanged.

Bonuses and supplemental wages in Vermont

Bonuses and other supplemental wages are frequently withheld differently from regular pay, and states set their own rules. This calculator applies Vermont's regular withholding to every dollar and does not model a separate supplemental rate, so a bonus paycheck can come out higher or lower than the figure above. Federal supplemental withholding is a flat 22% up to $1 million; for Vermont's own treatment, check the state authority linked below.

For the federal half, which this site does model, compare what withholding takes from a bonus against what you actually owe — the 22% flat rate is withholding, not a tax bill, and the difference comes back at filing.

Vermont vs. its neighbors

On a $100,000 salary you keep $74,962 in Vermont — $4,218 less than in neighboring New Hampshire, $642 more than in New York, and $562 more than in Massachusetts.

Federal income tax and FICA are identical in every state, so the whole gap above is state income tax. Single filer, $100,000 of wages, no 401(k) or other pre-tax deductions, 2025 state tables. Local income taxes (city and county) are not included. Run your own salary through the calculator above, or on any state's page.

Neighbours are only part of the picture. The study behind these figures ranks what a $100,000 salary takes home in all 50 states, with Vermont's row in place — the entire spread between best and worst is state income tax, since federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere.

Estimates for general informational purposes only; not tax or financial advice. State rules, local taxes, and credits vary — Vermont figures are simplified and should be verified with the state Department of Revenue. Actual withholding depends on your W-4 and benefits. Vermont's four-rate 3.35%–8.75% schedule is applied with the $7,400 standard deduction and $5,100 personal exemption for a single filer — not itemized deductions, exemption phase-outs, or any Vermont tax credit. It also excludes any local, county, or school-district tax your municipality may add.
