Take-home pay in Vermont
Estimate what a salary in Vermont (VT) becomes after federal tax, ≈6.5% effective state income tax estimate, FICA, typical benefits, and optional commute costs.
Vermont taxes wages at a higher effective rate in this model (~6.5%). Federal tax and FICA still apply. A Burlington salary keeps less than the same gross in New Hampshire before housing.

Income tax in Vermont
State income tax is the Vermont-specific leak. StubRate is not a full bracket-and-credit engine. New Hampshire’s $0 wage tax is the usual comparison.
If you live in Vermont and work in New York or New Hampshire, cross-border rules apply. This page assumes Vermont residency and work.
Every U.S. W-2 wage still faces federal income tax and FICA (Social Security plus Medicare). Vermont’s difference is the state line—and any local wage tax if your city charges one.

Living and commuting in Vermont
Burlington housing is tight relative to local pay. Smaller towns trade space for miles. Winter commuting is time and risk. Parking is cheap compared with Boston.
A hybrid hospital schedule in winter still has real drive days. Enter them.
Common job markets on this page: Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Essex. Housing and office days change true stub rate more than a small difference in the state tax shortcut.
Compare two offers if one job is in Vermont and the other is elsewhere—or if commute days differ.
