Good to know

Connecticut calls its deduction a personal exemption: up to $15,000 (single), $19,000 (head of household) or $24,000 (married filing jointly). It shrinks by $1,000 for every $1,000 of income above $30,000, $38,000 or $48,000 and is gone at $44,000, $56,000 and $71,000. This calculator applies it.
Lower and middle incomes also get a personal tax credit worth 75% down to 1% of the tax, depending on income. For a single filer it is 15% around $30,000, 10% between $33,300 and $60,000 and ends at $64,500 ($78,500 head of household, $100,500 joint). This calculator applies it.
At higher incomes Connecticut takes back the benefit of the 2% rate, starting at $56,500 for single filers, $78,500 for heads of household and $100,500 for joint filers. This adds $25 to $250 a year (single), up to $400 (head of household) or up to $500 (joint). It is not included in this estimate.
A second take-back starts at $105,000 (single), $168,000 (head of household) or $210,000 (joint) and adds a similar amount again, with more above $200,000 (single) or $400,000 (joint). It is not included either, so estimates for higher earners are a little low.
Connecticut Paid Leave is 0.5% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026. Only employees pay it.
Connecticut has no flat rate for bonuses: they are added to regular pay and withheld using the normal tables.
