Connecticut Paycheck Calculator

Connecticut’s rates run from 2% to 6.99%. The personal exemption phases out as income rises, and that phaseout is included. The recapture tax and the personal tax credit, which can cut the bill from 1% to 75% based on income, are not. Connecticut Paid Leave is not included until the employee rate is confirmed.

Questions

Does Connecticut tax wages?

Is this the amount an employer will withhold?

Federal withholding uses IRS Publication 15-T. The state line is an estimate of the statutory tax, not the state wage-bracket table, so the stub can differ.

What else is withheld?

Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500. Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% after $200,000 from one employer. Payroll programs we could verify are listed on the paycheck.

Does Connecticut have local wage tax?

Connecticut has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.

Why might my pay stub differ?

Pre-tax benefits, year-to-date wages, and a different W-4 can change the result. Compare the line citations with the stub.
