The standard deduction and personal exemption are the 2025 amounts, because 2026's haven't been published: a $7,650 deduction for single filers ($11,450 head of household, $15,300 joint) plus $5,300 for each filer and spouse.

Vermont Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Vermont
What is the Vermont state income tax rate for 2026?
Based on the Department of Taxes' preliminary 2026 schedules, single filers pay 3.35% on the first $50,750 of taxable income, 6.6% to $122,850, 7.6% to $256,300 and 8.75% above. Married couples filing jointly and qualifying widow(er)s have brackets ending at $84,700, $204,750 and $312,050; heads of household at $68,000, $175,500 and $284,150; married filing separately at $42,350, $102,375 and $156,025.
What are Vermont's standard deduction and personal exemption?
For 2025 the standard deduction is $7,650 for single filers and married filing separately, $11,450 for heads of household and $15,300 for married couples filing jointly and qualifying widow(er)s. The personal exemption is $5,300 for you and, on a joint return, your spouse. Vermont adjusts both for inflation, and the 2026 amounts haven't been published, so the calculator uses the 2025 figures.
How much Vermont tax is withheld from a bonus?
Vermont doesn't publish a flat withholding rate for bonuses. Its 2026 withholding guide says only that Vermont withholding on non-periodic payments can be estimated at 30% of the federal withholding. Pay44's bonus calculators treat a Vermont bonus as extra regular pay and use the regular tax table.
Does Vermont have a minimum tax?
Yes. On the 2025 return, if federal adjusted gross income is over $150,000, Vermont tax is the larger of the schedule tax and 3% of federal AGI (less interest from U.S. obligations). The calculator doesn't apply it.
What does this calculator leave out for Vermont?
The minimum tax, the extra $1,250 standard deduction for filers 65 or older or blind, dependent exemptions, Vermont's exemptions for Social Security and retirement income and its capital gains exclusion, Vermont's credits, and the Child Care Contribution. It starts from gross wages rather than federal adjusted gross income, and it keeps the cents in each bracket where Vermont's schedules round the base tax to whole dollars, so results can differ by under $1 a year.
