How Much Does a Phlebotomist Make in Vermont in 2026?

A typical Phlebotomist in Vermont earns about $22.12 per hour, which works out to roughly $46,000 per year, according to the latest government wage data (May 2025). Calculated from that annual figure, typical pay comes to about $3,833 a month or $885 a week. These figures reflect full-time work across the state as a whole.

That pay runs about 2% above the national annual figure of $45,230, and above the national hourly typical of $21.75, according to the same May 2025 data. Vermont ranks 19th among all 51 states for Phlebotomist pay, placing it in the upper-middle tier nationally. The state employs about 200 Phlebotomists, a modest workforce compared with the national total of 143,540.

Entry-level positions in Vermont typically offer around $18.57 an hour, or about $38,630 a year, for Phlebotomists just starting out. That's noticeably below the state's typical pay of $22.12 an hour. Pay tends to move toward that typical rate within the first few years, as new hires gain experience and take on more responsibility.

Experienced Phlebotomists in Vermont often earn upwards of $28.35 an hour, and the top 10% of earners make over $58,960 a year. That leaves a spread of $20,330 between entry-level and top pay in the state. Setting, years on the job, and city all play a role in where an individual Phlebotomist lands within that range.

A decade ago, in 2015, Phlebotomists in Vermont typically earned $32,230 a year. That figure has since climbed to $46,000 in 2025, a gain of $13,770. That's a rise of 43% over the ten-year stretch, according to the same wage data.

Nationally, Phlebotomist pay rose by the same 43% over the same ten years, so Vermont's gains have kept pace with the country as a whole rather than falling behind. For someone starting out now, that history shows pay in this field has moved upward over time, though past growth is no guarantee of future gains.

Vermont's Phlebotomist data covers just two metro areas: Burlington and South Burlington. Both report the same typical pay, $46,000 a year ($22.12 an hour), matching the state figure exactly. Burlington is also the larger of the two by workforce, with about 90 Phlebotomists working in the metro area.

With a spread of just $0 between the two, Phlebotomist pay in Vermont is fairly uniform across the state rather than concentrated in one higher-paying hub. Vermont's smaller number of metro areas, and generally lower cost of living than cities like Boston or New York, help explain why local figures cluster so closely together rather than spreading out.

Vermont's neighbors mostly pay more for Phlebotomist work. New York leads at $50,530 a year, about 10% above Vermont's figure, followed by Massachusetts at $50,170 (9% higher) and New Hampshire at $48,660 (6% higher).
