How Connecticut taxes your paycheck
- Income tax: seven brackets from 2% to 6.99%.
- Personal exemption that disappears quickly: $15,000 for single filers, reduced by $1,000 for every $1,000 of income above $30,000, so it is gone at $44,000 ($24,000 for couples, gone at $71,000).
- Benefit recapture: higher earners gradually lose the benefit of the lower brackets: the 2% rate is phased out from $56,500 (single) and a further recapture starts at $105,000, so at high incomes almost all income is taxed at the top rate.
- Personal tax credit: lower-income filers get a credit of 1% to 75% of their tax; it ends at $64,500 for single filers.
- CT Paid Leave: employees pay 0.5% of wages up to the Social Security wage base.
- Hartford, New Haven and Stamford do not tax wages.
