Vermont applies a four-bracket progressive income tax for 2025, starting at 3.35% and climbing to 8.75% for top earners, so your effective rate rises with your salary. The brackets widen for joint filers, easing the burden somewhat for married couples. The calculator below applies Vermont’s 2025 brackets together with federal tax and FICA to estimate your take-home pay in the Green Mountain State.
How take-home pay works in Vermont
Your paycheck starts with your gross pay. From there, the federal government takes income tax based on 2025 marginal brackets and your filing status, plus FICA — Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, with an extra 0.9% on high earners).
Vermont uses progressive income tax brackets for 2025 ranging from 3.35% up to a top rate of 8.75% on higher taxable income. Bracket widths are roughly doubled for married couples filing jointly. There are no local income taxes on wages, so withholding is the state bracket rate plus federal tax and FICA.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the Vermont income tax rates in 2025?
- Vermont uses progressive brackets for 2025 running from 3.35% on lower taxable income up to a top marginal rate of 8.75% on higher income. Most middle-income workers fall in the 6.6% to 7.6% range.
- Do married couples get wider brackets in Vermont?
- Yes. Vermont roughly doubles its bracket widths for married couples filing jointly, so a couple reaches each higher rate at a higher combined income than two single filers would.
- Are there local income taxes in Vermont?
- No. Vermont does not levy local income taxes on wages, so your paycheck withholding is the state bracket rate plus federal income tax and FICA.
- Does Vermont have a state income tax?
- Yes. Vermont taxes wage income. The calculator above includes it in your estimate.
- How is my take-home pay calculated?
- We start from your gross pay, then subtract federal income tax (2025 marginal brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200k), and your state income tax. Any 401(k) and pre-tax deductions are removed before income tax is figured.
- Which states have no income tax?
- Nine states have no state income tax on wages: Texas, Florida, Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming, Tennessee, and New Hampshire. Living there usually means a bigger paycheck.
- Is this exact?
- It is a solid estimate using 2025 federal and state rates and standard deductions. It does not capture local/city taxes, credits, or unusual situations. Treat it as a ballpark — not professional tax advice.
- What is FICA?
- FICA is the combination of Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Together they total 7.65% of most wages (6.2% Social Security up to the wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages).
