How Connecticut taxes a paycheck

Connecticut keeps its seven-bracket 2%-6.99% income tax unchanged for 2026, but layers on an unusual structure: a personal exemption that fully phases out at moderate income plus two high-income add-backs (a 2% rate phase-out and a benefit recapture) that claw back the value of the lower brackets.

Connecticut allows a personal exemption of $15,000 per filer before its rate applies.

Employee-paid programs on every Connecticut stub:

  • CT Paid Leave (CTPL / PFML): 0.5% on wages up to $184,500, capped at $922.50 a year

What is the Connecticut income tax rate for 2026?
Connecticut runs 7 brackets in 2026, from 2% up to 6.99% on the highest slice of income. Only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, so your top rate is not your average rate. The figures come from the state's own published tables.

At a $75,000 salary, about 23.0% all-in: federal income tax, Connecticut income tax, CT Paid Leave (CTPL / PFML), Social Security, and Medicare. The share moves with income; the calculator recomputes it for any salary and filing status.

Connecticut has one employee-paid insurance program: CT Paid Leave (CTPL / PFML) takes 0.5% on wages up to $184,500, capped at $922.50 a year. It appears as its own line on the stub, the way a real one prints it.
Does Connecticut have local income taxes?
Connecticut levies no local, municipal, or county income taxes; only the state income tax applies to wages.
Is this the exact amount my employer will withhold?
No, it is a planning estimate on 2026 tables. Actual withholding follows your W-4 elections, benefit premiums, and any local taxes, so individual paychecks can differ even when the year's total lands close.
