Vermont Paycheck Calculator

Vermont withholds using its own percentage-method tables: annualized wages less $5,400 per Form W-4VT allowance, run through a 4-bracket schedule from 3.35% to 8.75%, with separate tables for single and married filers. Vermont employers also fund a 0.44% Child Care Contribution, but it's paid by the employer and never shows up as a deduction on your paycheck.

Vermont withholds using its own percentage-method tables (GB-1210): annualized wages less $5,400 per Form W-4VT withholding allowance, then a 4-bracket schedule from 3.35% to 8.75% (separate tables for single and married). Vermont employers also pay a 0.44% Child Care Contribution payroll tax, but it is employer-paid and never appears as an employee deduction, so it is not included here.

Vermont paycheck FAQs

Does Vermont use the federal W-4 for state withholding?

No. Vermont has its own Form W-4VT, which sets its own marital status and allowance count — an employer may fall back to the federal W-4 if no W-4VT is on file, but Vermont recommends against it because it can under-withhold.

What's the Vermont Child Care Contribution I've heard about?

It's a 0.44% payroll tax employers pay on wages to fund child care programs. It's entirely employer-funded — it never reduces an employee's paycheck, so it isn't part of your take-home pay calculation.

How much does one W-4VT allowance save a Vermont taxpayer?

Each allowance shelters $5,400 of annual wages from Vermont tax. At the 6.60% bracket, common for a mid-five-figure salary, that's about $356/year less withheld per allowance claimed.
