US state withholding guide
Vermont withholding explained
Vermont uses its GB-1210-2026 annual payroll table together with the W-4VT allowance certificate. That makes it straightforward to estimate annual withholding from salary, but it is still only an estimate.
In short
The calculator uses the annual payroll table for the filing status you select and subtracts the annual allowance amount for each W-4VT allowance you enter.
What the calculator is doing
Vermont publishes percentage-method tables by pay frequency. Because this tool starts from annual salary, it uses the annual table and the booklet's annual allowance amount to estimate withholding.
What is not included yet
The guide and calculator do not separately model the 30% federal-extra-withholding adjustment, nonresident service proration, or non-qualified deferred-compensation treatment.
When to use the estimate
Use it when comparing a job offer or checking a rough take-home-pay amount. If you need exact payroll treatment, compare the estimate with your payslip and the Vermont withholding booklet.
The Vermont Department of Taxes explains that withholding is calculated from W-4VT, that federal extra withholding may increase Vermont withholding by 30%, and that the 2026 booklet contains the annual payroll table. Return to the US calculator.
