Paycheck Calculator — Vermont
Vermont uses four graduated brackets that climb from 3.35% to an 8.75% top rate. A single filer earning $60,000 crosses into the 6.6% second bracket at $49,400, and the model estimates $2,354.50 of Vermont income tax before the omitted state standard deduction.

Annual deductions from gross
Estimate for the 2026 tax year using the federal standard deduction and published IRS/SSA rates. It does not model itemized deductions, tax credits, dependents, or local city taxes. Vermont brackets are applied before the Vermont standard deduction (omitted), so this estimate runs slightly high. Not tax advice.
Four brackets rising to 8.75%
Vermont's 2026 schedule for single filers runs 3.35% up to $49,400, 6.6% up to $119,700, 7.6% up to $249,700, and 8.75% beyond that, with wider thresholds for married couples filing jointly. The jump from 3.35% to 6.6% nearly doubles the marginal rate mid-salary: on $60,000, the model taxes the first $49,400 at 3.35% and the remaining $10,600 at 6.6%, for an estimated $2,354.50 of Vermont tax and $48,035.50 of net annual pay after the federal layer.
These brackets are applied before the Vermont standard deduction, which the model omits, so the estimate runs slightly high. The figure is a 2026 planning estimate, not tax advice, and does not reflect Vermont credits or your full return.
Questions
- What are Vermont's income tax brackets for 2026?
- For single filers: 3.35% up to $49,400, 6.6% up to $119,700, 7.6% up to $249,700, and 8.75% above. Married-filing-jointly thresholds are wider — the 6.6% bracket begins at $82,500 — so couples reach the higher rates later.
- Why is the marginal rate jump at $49,400 significant?
- Vermont's rate nearly doubles there, from 3.35% to 6.6%, so each dollar above $49,400 is taxed almost twice as heavily by the state. The model reflects that split — though it omits the Vermont standard deduction, so the estimate runs slightly high and is not tax advice.
