Vermont personal income taxes paid, per return, by age group, 2014-2023

 As more Vermonters age into retirement, will the income tax base shrink and the state get less revenue?
Two-thirds of Vermont’s baby boomers—people born between 1946 and 1964—were 65 or older as of 2024, meaning they were eligible for Medicare and retirement benefits from Social Security. But more Vermonters aging out of the workforce has not led to less income tax revenue for the state. Vermonters 65 and over have more taxable income on average than those under 65 and pay more taxes per return than younger filers.
