An accessory container is designed to be mounted over the top platform of a stepladder. The accessory container includes a forward compartment defined by a front wall, a back interior wall, a right side wall, a left side wall and a bottom wall. The forward compartment is open at the top and provides a storage area for holding tools, equipment and other work supplies that are needed by the worker when he is using the stepladder to perform construction or maintenance chores. The accessory container further includes a rearward compartment defined by the back interior wall, side wall extensions on each of the right and left side walls, a top plate and a rear overlapping lip. The rearward compartment is open at the bottom and allows the accessory container to be mounted over the top of the stepladder. The top platform of the stepladder abuts the underside of top plate of the accessory container and the rear legs of the stepladder abut the back interior wall of the accessory container. The top corner of the stepladder's top platform hooks under the rear overlapping lip of the rear compartment of the accessory container. This arrangement results in any weight that is placed in the forward compartment being transferred through the back interior wall of the accessory container to the rear legs of the stepladder. This increases the structural stability of the accessory container and holds it securely in place on the stepladder.
