Vermont capital gains tax estimator
Estimate Vermont tax impact from a single sale.
How this calculator works
Step 1 calculates your capital gain using cost basis and sale proceeds. If you provide dates, the tool classifies the holding period for reference.
Step 2 adds the gain to your other Vermont taxable income and applies the progressive brackets to estimate the incremental tax tied to the sale.
Step 3 shows the Vermont tax impact. The marginal rate depends on the bracket applied to total taxable income.
Frequently asked questions
Does Vermont have a special long-term gain rate?
Vermont uses progressive brackets for capital gains and other income, so the same rates apply.
What if I have a loss?
Losses are displayed for context. Check Vermont’s rules for how losses offset gains.
Do I need to adjust for residency?
Part-year and nonresident filers should prorate Vermont-source income using the allocation percent on their return.
