Take-Home Pay in Connecticut (2026)

Connecticut taxes 2026 income at seven rates from 2% to 6.99%, with separate schedules for single, joint, and head-of-household filers. Instead of a standard deduction, Connecticut gives a personal exemption ($15,000 single / $24,000 joint). Workers also pay 0.5% of wages into CT Paid Leave, up to the Social Security wage base.

State tax note: Seven rates from 2% to 6.99% (2026 Table B). The personal exemption is modeled at its full amount — it phases out at higher incomes, and the Table C/D recapture add-backs are not modeled. CT Paid Leave (0.5% to $184,500) is not deducted here.
