Vermont Tax Calculator
The Vermont (VT) Tax Calculator is updated for the 2026/27 tax year and estimates your Vermont state income tax, federal income tax, FICA, and Medicare. Vermont uses a progressive income tax structure tied to federal taxable income. This calculator combines state and federal results to show accurate take-home pay and total tax burden.
Vermont provides several credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit that may significantly reduce your liability. Use the advanced options to include these and other deductions for a precise forecast.
