Common questions
How much does Vermont Child Care Contribution employee share take out of a Vermont paycheck?
0.11% of every dollar of wages, with no annual ceiling. Unlike Social Security or a capped state assessment, it keeps applying at the same rate however much you earn in the year.
Is Vermont Child Care Contribution employee share taken out of every paycheck?
Yes, while you are being paid wages in Vermont and, where a ceiling applies, until you reach it for the year. It is withheld by your employer alongside federal tax and FICA rather than being something you pay separately at filing time.
Can my Vermont employer charge less than this?
Yes. The figure modelled here is the MAXIMUM an employee can be charged. Employers may set a lower employee share, or cover more of the cost themselves, so a real payslip can show less than this and still be correct. It should not show more.
