Vermont's income tax is graduated: 4 brackets running from 3.35% to 8.75%, the 9th-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. The top rate applies to a single filer's taxable income above $249,700. Joint filers have their own schedule, and it is not simply doubled: the top rate starts at $304,000 for a couple against $249,700 for a single filer. Heads of household get a third schedule of their own, wider than the single one. A single filer subtracts a $7,650 standard deduction and a $5,300 personal exemption before the rates are applied.

Assumptions
- Ordinary-income rate schedules only; no credits, AMT, capital-gains rates, QBI deduction or the 2025–2028 senior deduction.
- Standard deduction (plus additional amounts for 65+/blind) or your itemized figure, whichever is larger; no dependent-filer limitation.
- Married filing separately uses half the joint federal thresholds, per the IRS schedule, and the state's single-filer schedule.
- State tax uses each state's published rate schedule, standard deduction and personal exemption for the tax year shown with the results; the source URL and year for the state you pick are printed above the results, along with the simplifications made for that state.
- State figures exclude county, municipal and city income taxes, itemized deductions, retirement and capital-gains exclusions, and credits that phase out. Unlisted states fall back to the flat rate you enter.
| Taxable income | Rate | Your income in this bracket | Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 – $12,400 | 10% | $12,400 | $1,240 |
| $12,400 – $50,400 | 12% | $38,000 | $4,560 |

- Filers with federal AGI above $150,000 pay the greater of the calculated tax or 3% of federal AGI, which is not modelled.
- Vermont adds $1,250 to the standard deduction for each age-or-blindness box checked on the federal return; not modelled.
