How Connecticut taxes wages
Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The calculator uses a personal exemption of $15,000 ($24,000 joint). 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. Source: Connecticut Department of Revenue Services.
What is not in the state income tax number
The state line here is income tax only. Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T, and Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state. Connecticut also has payroll programs that come out of the check; the Connecticut paycheck calculator lists them in the result. Connecticut has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.
