The official method, step by step
For 2026, the Vermont lines are worked out as follows (rule set us-vt-2026.1): Vermont income tax by the 2026 percentage method tables (3.35% to 8.75%) after the W-4VT allowances.
- Pay is annualized, then reduced by the Form W-4 amount for your filing status ($8,600, or $12,900 if married filing jointly) unless the Step 2 box is checked.
- Federal income tax comes from the IRS 2026 Annual Percentage Method table for that status, divided back to one paycheck.
- Social security is 6.2% of wages until the year's wages reach $184,500.
- Medicare is 1.45% of all wages, plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000 in the year.
- A pre-tax 401(k) lowers federal income tax wages, not social security or Medicare wages.
- Vermont income tax follows the 2026 percentage method tables in GB-1210: the W-4VT allowances come off ($103.85 each a week), then the single or married table applies, from 3.35% to 8.75%. Civil union partners use the married table.
