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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Vermont conform to recent federal changes?
Generally, with its own adjustments/credits. We rely on 2026 config data—no hard-coded rates.
Any Vermont SDI (state disability insurance) line?
No separate SDI withholding is shown for Vermont—you’ll see FICA/Medicare and state income tax only.
Retirement distributions—how treated by Vermont?
Distributions included in federal AGI flow into Vermont taxable income and are taxed under the brackets.
Can I preview next year’s Vermont outcome?
Switch the tax year and re-run with your expected income/benefits. The tool uses the selected year’s config.
Alimony/child support—state differences?
State treatment follows federal inclusion/exclusion rules by agreement year. Enter the federal values first; the effect flows into Vermont.
