How Connecticut taxes your income in 2026

Single filers pay 2% on the first $10,000 of taxable income, 4.5% up to $50,000, 5.5% up to $100,000, 6% up to $200,000, 6.5% up to $250,000, 6.9% up to $500,000, and 6.99% above that. The 2% and 4.5% bottom rates took effect in 2024, down from 3% and 5%. Connecticut has no standard deduction; instead it offers a personal exemption ($15,000 for single filers) that phases out between $30,000 and $40,000 of income — so most full-time workers get no exemption at all.

Payroll taxes, property taxes, and phase-outs

Connecticut employees pay an extra 0.5% of wages into the state's Paid Family and Medical Leave program, on top of income tax. Higher earners also face 'benefits recapture' rules that phase out the 2% and 4.5% bottom brackets, effectively adding a hidden marginal rate in the $200,000–$400,000 range. Connecticut cities levy no local income tax, but property taxes on homes — and even cars — are among the highest in the country. Social Security benefits are exempt for single filers with income under $75,000 ($100,000 for couples).

What this calculator includes (and excludes)

This estimate covers federal income tax, FICA, and Connecticut income tax using the 2026 brackets. It does not model the personal exemption phase-out, bracket phase-outs (benefits recapture), the 0.5% Paid Family and Medical Leave payroll tax, itemized deductions, or credits. For most wage earners above $40,000, the exemption phase-out makes little difference. Figures are estimates for planning purposes, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Connecticut income tax rate in 2026? ▼
Connecticut has seven brackets from 2% to 6.99%. A single filer's wages pass through 2% (to $10,000), 4.5% (to $50,000), and 5.5% (to $100,000). The bottom two rates were cut in 2024 from 3% and 5%.
Does Connecticut have local income taxes? ▼
No. Connecticut municipalities levy no income tax. However, the state's property taxes — including an annual property tax on vehicles — are among the highest in the nation.
Does Connecticut tax Social Security benefits? ▼
Only for higher incomes. Single filers with adjusted gross income below $75,000 ($100,000 for joint filers) pay no Connecticut tax on Social Security benefits; above those thresholds a portion becomes taxable.
How much is $75,000 after taxes in Connecticut? ▼
A single filer earning $75,000 pays roughly $3,375 in Connecticut income tax and takes home about $58,218 per year after federal tax, FICA, and state tax, based on this calculator's 2026 estimates. See the example table above for details.
What is the Connecticut paid family leave payroll tax? ▼
Employees contribute 0.5% of wages (up to the Social Security wage base) to fund Connecticut's Paid Family and Medical Leave program. It's withheld from paychecks in addition to income tax and is not included in this calculator's estimate.
