## Inputs

| Key | Label | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| status | Filing status | Your federal filing status. |
| income | Federal adjusted gross income | Your federal AGI (Form 1040 line 11). |
| deps | Dependents | Dependents you claim, not yourself or your spouse. |

## Outputs

| Key | Label | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| total | Vermont income tax | State tax after credits, plus any local tax. |
| stateTax | State income tax | State tax after credits. |
| effectiveRate | Effective rate | Tax as a percent of AGI. |
| marginalRate | State marginal rate | State rate on the next dollar. |

| deduction | Deduction | Standard or itemized, whichever is larger. |
| exemptions | Exemptions | Personal and dependent exemptions. |

## Method

Taxable income = AGI − larger of standard or itemized deduction − exemptions; tax = state rates on taxable income − credits.

## Assumptions

- An estimate for a full-year resident, 2025 rates, not tax advice.
- Starts from federal AGI; Vermont additions and subtractions are not modelled.
- Not modelled for Vermont: 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).
- Not modelled: part-year and nonresident returns, other state credits, and state AMT.

3. status = hoh, income = $200,000.00, deps = 1 gives taxableIncome = $177,950.00, stateTax = $9,662.70, total = $9,662.70.

## FAQ

### What is the Vermont income tax rate?

Vermont taxes income at 3.35% to 8.75% in 4 brackets (single filers). For a single filer the schedule is 3.35% from $0, 6.6% from $49,400, 7.6% from $119,700, 8.75% above $249,700 of taxable income. These are the 2025 (the latest Vermont has published) rates.

### How is Vermont income tax calculated?

Start from federal adjusted gross income. Subtract the larger of the Vermont standard deduction and your itemized deductions, then the exemptions. Apply the rates to what is left and subtract any credits. The standard deduction is $7,650 single, $15,300 married filing jointly, $7,650 separately, and $11,450 head of household. The model takes a personal exemption of $5,300 ($10,600 joint), $5,300 for each dependent.

### 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.
