How we calculate Vermont take-home pay
Vermont's income tax is among the higher rates in New England, but the state's remote worker recruitment programs and exceptional quality of life attract workers who prioritize environment over tax optimization. Burlington is a small but culturally vibrant city. Vermont has been innovative in attracting remote workers through financial incentive programs. Workers considering Vermont should factor the income tax burden into calculations — at $100,000, Vermont state tax is approximately $6,600, compared to $0 in neighboring New Hampshire.
