Data notes for Vermont
PROJECTED: 2026 Vermont figures were not available. PolicyEngine's latest explicit values are tax year 2025 (brackets, standard deduction, $5,300 exemption), and the 2026 VT Rate Schedules / GB-1210 2026 withholding guide exist on tax.vermont.gov but their contents could not be retrieved (direct fetch blocked; the shared web-search budget ran out). Vermont indexes brackets, standard deduction and exemption annually for inflation (32 V.S.A. 5811(21), 5822(b)); since the exact CPI computation/rounding could not be reproduced from an official source, the 2025 amounts are CARRIED FORWARD unchanged. Expect official 2026 thresholds/deduction/exemption to be roughly 2-3% higher; replace when verified. Rates (3.35/6.6/7.6/8.75%) are statutory and unchanged. Personal exemption per person (MFJ = 2). Vermont's minimum tax (tax = greater of schedule tax or 3% of AGI when AGI > $150,000, 32 V.S.A. 5822(a)(6)) never binds for wage-only filers taking the standard deduction in the $15k-$500k range, so it is not modelled. Payroll: Vermont's Child Care Contribution (0.44% of wages, from July 2024) is an employer tax; employers MAY (not must) withhold up to 0.11% of wages from employees - not included because it is not mandatory for the employee. No state SDI/PFML mandatory contribution (Vermont FMLI is voluntary). Pre-tax 401(k)/section 125 excluded.
