How This Calculator Works

On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each Connecticut paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and $134 to Connecticut income tax, leaving about $2,235 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.

That state withholding is the 10th highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.), $34 more than the typical state per paycheck ($879 over a year).

Among neighboring states, Rhode Island leaves the most: about $2,284 per paycheck on the same salary, $49 more than Connecticut. Where you pay income tax depends mainly on where you live and work, so check the rules before moving across a state line.

A real Connecticut pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
