Does Vermont have a local income tax?
This page has no local income tax for Vermont; if your city or county has one, add it yourself.
What does this Vermont calculator leave out?
Uses 2025 schedules. The minimum tax of 3% of AGI above $150,000 is not modelled. The child care contribution an employer may withhold (up to 25% of 0.44%, so 0.11% of wages) is not included. No itemized deductions: IN-111 has only the Vermont standard deduction (2025 IN-111 instructions). It also leaves out state additions and subtractions to federal AGI (such as retirement or Social Security exclusions), part-year and nonresident returns, and credits such as child care, earned income, and tax paid to another state.
Which tax year do the Vermont rates cover?
The page uses 2025 amounts, because Vermont had not published 2026 amounts when this page was built. They come from Vermont Department of Taxes.
Which states have no income tax on wages?
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. They have no page of their own, because there is no wage income tax to work out; the state income tax calculator answers 0 for them. Federal income tax and Social Security and Medicare still apply.
Is this the same as my paycheck withholding?
No. This is the tax for the whole year on your return. Your employer withholds by the state's own withholding formula, so your refund or balance due is the difference between the two.
