How This Calculator Works
Connecticut has a graduated income tax with 7 rates, from 2.00% up to 6.99%, which starts at $500,000 of taxable income for single filers and $1,000,000 for married couples filing jointly. Before the rates apply, Connecticut gives a personal exemption of $15,000 per filer.
A single filer earning $75,000 in wages pays about $3,475 in Connecticut tax, 4.6% of pay. That is the 10th highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.), and $879 more than the typical state ($2,596). A married couple earning $150,000 pays about $7,250.
Connecticut’s personal exemption shrinks as income rises, and higher earners gradually lose the benefit of the lower brackets.
