Good to know
- The 2026 brackets, standard deduction and $5,400 exemption used here come from Vermont’s 2026 withholding tables. Head of household figures are the 2025 amounts raised by the same inflation adjustment, so they may differ by a few dollars from the final 2026 forms.
- Each dependent adds another $5,400 exemption.
- If your income is above $150,000, Vermont charges at least 3% of your adjusted gross income. This calculator does not apply that minimum.
- Vermont has a Child Care Contribution of 0.44% of wages, paid by employers. Your employer is allowed to take up to a quarter of it (0.11%) from your pay. Many do not, so it is not included here.
- Vermont withholds 30% of the federal withholding on bonuses, which works out to 6.6% when the federal flat rate of 22% is used.
