Withholding in real life follows the IRS and Vermont withholding tables paycheck by paycheck, so an individual check can differ by a few dollars from this annualised estimate; the year-end totals are what the tables aim at.
| Frequency | Take-home per check | Gross per check |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly (52×/yr) | $1,137 | $1,442 |
| Biweekly (26×/yr) | $2,273 | $2,885 |
| Semimonthly (24×/yr) | $2,463 | $3,125 |
| Monthly (12×/yr) | $4,925 | $6,250 |
| Salary | Gross per check | Take-home per check | Take-home per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $1,923 | $1,581 | $41,114 |
| $75,000 | $2,885 | $2,273 | $59,103 |
| $100,000 | $3,846 | $2,886 | $75,040 |

The state-specific rules behind the numbers above — the things a generic calculator gets wrong about Vermont.
Vermont taxes single filers at 3.35% on taxable income up to $49,400, 6.60% up to $119,700, 7.60% up to $249,700 and 8.75% above that, after a $7,650 standard deduction and a $5,300 personal exemption. The jump from the first to the second bracket nearly doubles the rate, so Vermont's burden rises quickly once income passes the first bracket.

Vermont taxes Social Security partially, using an AGI band rather than a cliff. Following Act 71 (2025), benefits are fully exempt at AGI up to $55,000 for single filers and $70,000 for joint filers; the exemption phases out over the next $10,000 of AGI and disappears above $65,000 single / $80,000 joint. Above the band, the federally taxable portion of benefits is taxed at the normal rates.
