How Vermont paycheck taxes work

Your Vermont paycheck has three main withholdings: federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare, and Vermont state income tax. Vermont has no local income taxes; the Child Care Contribution is paid by employers, who may pass at most a quarter of it (0.11%) to workers.

The formula subtracts $5,400 for each W-4VT allowance and applies the Single or Married table: nothing on the first $3,925 (single) or $11,775 (married), then 3.35%, 6.6% above $54,675 or $96,475, 7.6% above $126,775 or $216,525, and 8.75% above $260,225 or $323,825. Bonuses paid separately are withheld at 30% of the federal amount.
