  • Vermont uses tax year 2025 figures; 2026 figures weren't published when this was checked.

Vermont 2025: 2025 figures: Vermont indexes brackets, standard deduction and exemption, and the 2026 return schedules are not yet published (the 2026 withholding tables use a $5,400 allowance, suggesting a 2026 exemption of $5,400). For federal AGI over $150,000 tax is the greater of the schedule or 3% of AGI (not modelled). The extra $1,250 deduction per age-65/blind box and the refundable child tax credit ($1,000 per child under 6) are not modelled. Federal tax is 2026 withholding (IRS Pub. 15-T), not your final tax bill.
