Vermont Tax Tables
Vermont Tax Tables provide a complete reference of how state income tax is calculated for each supported year. These tables summarise the official rules issued by the Vermont Department of Revenue and present them in a clear structure that matches the calculations used in our Vermont Tax Calculator. They are useful for checking withholdings, estimating liability, reviewing historical tax years and understanding how state policy shapes taxable income.

How Vermont Calculates Income Tax
Vermont uses a progressive tax system where income is divided into brackets and each portion is taxed at its marginal rate. These rules determine how wages and other taxable income are assessed for Vermont returns, with updated tables released each year to reflect legislation and inflation changes. For a broader explanation of how tax tables work, see our Tax Tables guide.
Vermont supports resident, nonresident and part-year filing rules. The tax tables help clarify which thresholds apply when income is earned both inside and outside the state.
What Is Contained in the Vermont Tax Tables?
Each tax-year page provides a structured summary of the components Vermont uses to calculate individual income tax. While details vary by year, the state tax tables generally include the following elements:
- State tax brackets and marginal rates for each filing status.
- Standard deduction amounts for each filing status.
- Itemized deductions where permitted under Vermont law.
- Dependent and family-related credits including any child-based or filer-based reductions.
- State Earned Income Credit (EIC), including percentage match and income limits.
- Retirement income rules including partial or full exemptions for pensions or Social Security.
- State withholding tables used by employers for payroll calculations.
Together, these elements provide a transparent breakdown of how Vermont calculates tax for each year. This structure helps taxpayers review year-to-year changes, employers validate payroll withholding and financial planners analyse how Vermont’s rules differ from federal requirements. All values shown in our Vermont Tax Tables match the official figures published by the state.
