2026 tax year, rules last verified November 12, 2026. An estimate, not tax advice. How we calculate
Each extra dollar you earn loses about 26¢ to taxes, but across all your pay the average is 19¢. A raise never lowers your take-home: only the dollars above a bracket line pay the higher rate.

Same pay, W-4 and benefits; each state’s default withholding answers, no local taxes. Take-home per week:
Your employer multiplies your W-4VT allowances by the value of one allowance for your pay period, subtracts it from the paycheck and applies the single or married percentage table.
Part of every paycheck is untaxed by the table itself: the first $75 a week for single filers and $226 a week for married filers.
Vermont follows federal treatment of 401(k) deferrals and Section 125 benefits, so they lower your Vermont wages too.
Bonuses have no flat Vermont rate for wages; they are withheld through the same tables together with regular pay.

Vermont has no state disability or paid leave deduction. The only possible payroll deduction is the employee share of the Child Care Contribution.
Vermont has no reciprocal agreements. If you live outside Vermont and work there only part of a pay period, your employer withholds on the Vermont share of your hours. New Hampshire residents working in Vermont pay Vermont tax with no home-state credit.
