How Vermont taxes your income in 2026

Vermont's 2026 brackets for single filers are 3.35% on the first $46,000 of taxable income, 6.6% to $111,550, 7.6% to $229,100, and 8.75% above that (thresholds are inflation-adjusted annually). A single filer earning $75,000 sits mostly in the 3.35% bracket. Vermont's standard deduction is $7,000 for single filers and $14,050 for joint filers — roughly half the federal amount.

No local income taxes; property taxes are the headline

Vermont municipalities levy no income taxes. Social Security benefits are fully exempt for single filers with income up to $50,000 ($65,000 for couples), with a partial exemption above that — so most retirees pay nothing on benefits. Vermont's real tax story is property taxes, among the highest in the nation, which fund its school system through a statewide education property tax.

What this calculator includes (and excludes)

This estimate covers federal income tax, FICA, and Vermont income tax using the 2026 brackets and standard deduction. It does not model the Social Security exemption thresholds, itemized deductions, Vermont's charitable contribution credit, or the 40% exclusion on certain Vermont business and farm capital gains. Figures are estimates, not tax advice.

Four brackets: 3.35%, 6.6%, 7.6%, and 8.75%. The 6.6% bracket starts around $46,000 of taxable income for single filers; the 8.75% top rate applies above roughly $229,100.
Does Vermont have local income taxes? ▼

Does Vermont tax Social Security benefits? ▼
Not for most retirees. Benefits are fully exempt for single filers with income up to $50,000 ($65,000 for joint filers), with a partial exemption phasing out above those levels.
How much is $75,000 after taxes in Vermont? ▼
A single filer earning $75,000 pays roughly $3,013 in Vermont income tax and takes home about $58,580 per year after federal tax, FICA, and state tax, based on this calculator's 2026 estimates. See the example table above for details.
Why is Vermont's standard deduction smaller than the federal one? ▼
Vermont sets its own deduction ($7,000 single / $14,050 joint) rather than conforming to the federal amount. Its brackets were restructured in 2022 to keep the bottom rate low despite the smaller deduction.
