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
