Methodology & Source
Vermont state tax figures sourced from Vermont Department of Taxes (https://tax.vermont.gov/), citing 32 V.S.A. § 5822. Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Vermont's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures are not yet independently verified and currently fall back to single-filer brackets — see the caveat in the formula section above.
This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal, FICA, and VT state calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions, and other factors.
