How Vermont withholding works
- Subtract $5,400 a year for each W-4VT allowance ($103.85 weekly, $207.69 biweekly).
- Apply the percentage table for your pay period – single or married (civil union partners use the married table).
The department’s example – $1,800 a week, married, two allowances – gives $1,592.30 after allowances, 3.35% of the $1,366.30 above $226, and $45.77. This calculator reproduces it.
