Taxes on a Vermont paycheck
Vermont taxes wages at 3.35% to 8.75%. Employers may also deduct up to 0.11% of wages toward the Child Care Contribution. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How Vermont withholding is figured
- Your employer subtracts $5,400 a year (for example $207.69 biweekly) for each allowance on Form W-4VT and applies the single or married 2026 tables: 3.35%, 6.6%, 7.6% and 8.75%.
- W-4VT allowances: 1 for you, 1 for a spouse who does not work, 1 per dependent and 1 for head of household.
- Child Care Contribution: employers pay 0.44% of wages and may withhold up to a quarter of it, 0.11%, from your pay.
