How Vermont taxes a paycheck
Vermont runs a progressive schedule with 4 brackets, from 3.35% at the bottom to 8.75% at the top. After the $7,400 state standard deduction, a $75,000 single filer lands in the 6.6% bracket — that is the rate on the next dollar, not on all of them, which is why the state's average bite is smaller. The top 8.75% rate only touches taxable income above $242,000.
You can read the progressivity directly off the table: the effective state rate climbs from 2.73% at $40,000 to 5.41% at $150,000. That climb is the practical difference between a progressive state and a flat-tax one, where the share would hold steady. At $75,000, each additional $1,000 of salary keeps about $638 once federal, state, and Medicare marginal rates are applied.
How Vermont compares with other states
On a $75,000 salary, Vermont ranks #27 of 51 among the states and D.C. for take-home pay, $2,905 a year behind the no-income-tax states and $18 behind the median state. The nearest state above it is Wisconsin ($18 more per year); just below sits Mississippi, $3 behind. Rankings compare state and average local income taxes only — cost of living, housing, and sales taxes move real affordability in ways a paycheck never shows.
