Connecticut Paycheck Calculator

Connecticut has a graduated state income tax with seven brackets ranging from 3% to 6.99%, with the top rate applying to income over $500,000 (single) or $1 million (married filing jointly). For most Connecticut workers, the marginal state rate is 5.5% (on $100,000–$200,000) or 6.0% (on $200,000–$250,000).

Connecticut does not levy city income taxes in Stamford, Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, or any other municipality. The entire sub-federal income tax burden is the state graduated rate.

Connecticut is among the wealthier states, with a high cost of living particularly in Fairfield County (Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk) where many finance-sector workers commute to New York City. Connecticut and New York have a partial reciprocity arrangement for tax purposes — Connecticut residents working in NYC owe New York State tax but can claim a Connecticut credit, typically resulting in paying only the higher of the two states' rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Connecticut's income tax rates?expand_more
Connecticut has seven brackets: 3% (up to $10,000 single), 5% ($10K–$50K), 5.5% ($50K–$100K), 6% ($100K–$200K), 6.5% ($200K–$250K), 6.9% ($250K–$500K), and 6.99% above $500,000. Married filing jointly brackets are wider (generally double the single amounts).
If I live in Connecticut and work in New York, do I pay taxes to both states?expand_more
Connecticut and New York both claim tax on income earned in New York by CT residents. However, Connecticut provides a credit for taxes paid to New York. In practice, you pay the higher of the two states' effective rates — effectively avoiding true double taxation. Most Fairfield County commuters pay New York State rates on NY-sourced income.
Does Connecticut have a city income tax?expand_more
No. Connecticut municipalities cannot levy income taxes on wages. Connecticut law reserves income taxation to the state. Stamford, Hartford, New Haven, and all other Connecticut cities have no local income tax, making the state-level rate the only sub-federal income tax burden.
