TALLIVOConnecticut Paycheck Calculator
Your 2026 take-home pay in Connecticut, after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and state income tax.
On Connecticut's median household income of $99,240, a single filer takes home $73,937 a year — $6,161 a month — after $13,003 in federal income tax, $7,592 in Social Security and Medicare, and $4,708 in Connecticut income tax.
That is an effective all-in rate of 25.5% for 2026 federal rules and 2026 Connecticut rules, taxes only — no 401(k), health premiums, or other deductions. Your own figure depends on filing status and pre-tax contributions.
Paycheck taxes in Connecticut
Connecticut has seven brackets from 2% to 6.99% for 2026; the bottom two rates were cut to 2% and 4.5% starting in 2024 and remain unchanged through 2026. The state has no standard deduction, and its personal exemption phases out so steeply with income that it is not modeled here. Rate-recapture provisions for very high earners are also excluded from this estimate.
Bonuses and supplemental wages in Connecticut
Bonuses and other supplemental wages are frequently withheld differently from regular pay, and states set their own rules. This calculator applies Connecticut's regular withholding to every dollar and does not model a separate supplemental rate, so a bonus paycheck can come out higher or lower than the figure above. Federal supplemental withholding is a flat 22% up to $1 million; for Connecticut's own treatment, check the state authority linked below.
For the federal half, which this site does model, compare what withholding takes from a bonus against what you actually owe — the 22% flat rate is withholding, not a tax bill, and the difference comes back at filing.
Connecticut vs. its neighbors
On a $100,000 salary you keep $74,430 in Connecticut — $1,602 less than in neighboring Rhode Island, $110 more than in New York, and $30 more than in Massachusetts.
Federal income tax and FICA are identical in every state, so the whole gap above is state income tax. Single filer, $100,000 of wages, no 401(k) or other pre-tax deductions, 2025 state tables. Local income taxes (city and county) are not included. Run your own salary through the calculator above, or on any state's page.
Neighbours are only part of the picture. The study behind these figures ranks what a $100,000 salary takes home in all 50 states, with Connecticut's row in place — the entire spread between best and worst is state income tax, since federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere.

How we calculate this
Federal brackets and FICA per our paycheck methodology, plus Connecticut's 2026 state income tax. Estimates only — not tax advice.
Estimates for general informational purposes only; not tax or financial advice. State rules, local taxes, and credits vary — Connecticut figures are simplified and should be verified with the state Department of Revenue. Actual withholding depends on your W-4 and benefits. This estimate does not model Connecticut's 0.5% Paid Leave contribution. Connecticut's seven-rate 2%–6.99% schedule is applied to income with no state standard deduction or exemption subtracted, and no Connecticut credits, subtractions, or income exclusions.
