On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each Vermont paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and $96 to Vermont income tax, leaving about $2,273 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.
That state withholding is 31st of 51, near the middle, $4 less than the typical state per paycheck ($106 over a year).
Among neighboring states, New Hampshire leaves the most: about $2,369 per paycheck on the same salary, $96 more than Vermont. Where you pay income tax depends mainly on where you live and work, so check the rules before moving across a state line.
A real Vermont pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
In Vermont, about $2,273 every two weeks (26 paychecks) or $2,463 twice a month (24 paychecks) for a single filer, before 401(k) and insurance deductions.
For a single filer paid every two weeks: about $48 on $50k, $159 on $100k and $293 on $150k a year in salary. The share rises with pay because Vermont's rates are graduated.
Working full time in Vermont (2,080 hours, $52,000 a year), you take home about $820 a week, or $42,654 a year, for a single filer with no pre-tax deductions.
Local income taxes on wages are not common in Vermont, so this calculator assumes none. If your employer withholds one, add its rate yourself.
