How Connecticut taxes your paycheck in 2026
Connecticut withholds on seven brackets from 2% to 6.99%, chosen by the Withholding Code on Form CT-W4 rather than by allowances: Code F for single filers (2% on the first $10,000, 4.5% to $50,000, 5.5% to $100,000 and so on), Code B for heads of household and Code C for married couples with one income. A personal exemption of $15,000 (single), $19,000 (head of household) or $24,000 (married) phases out $1,000 at a time once pay passes $30,000, $38,000 or $48,000, a personal tax credit of up to 75% of the tax shrinks to nothing by $64,500 (single), and small add-backs recapture the 2% bracket above $56,500 and the lower brackets above $105,000. Employees also pay 0.5% of wages to CT Paid Leave.
CT Paid Leave: 0.5% of wages up to $184,500 (a $60,000 salary pays $300 a year), deducted from every paycheck. Married employees whose spouse also works and whose combined income is $24,000 to $100,500 use Code A, which withholds somewhat more than the Code C figures shown here. Employees who never file a CT-W4 are withheld at a flat 6.99% with no exemption.
What changed in 2026
The 2026 withholding calculation rules and tables (TPG-211, Rev. 12/25) are unchanged from 2025. Withholding on certain lump-sum retirement distributions stays suspended through December 31, 2026. The CT Paid Leave contribution remains 0.5%, now capped at the $184,500 Social Security wage base.
Federal taxes on every Connecticut paycheck
Federal income tax is withheld with the IRS Publication 15-T percentage method based on your Form W-4: filing status, the Step 2 checkbox for a second job, dependent credits and any extra withholding. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026, and Medicare 1.45% with no cap (plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000). Pre-tax 401(k) contributions lower your federal and Connecticut income tax; health premiums and HSA or FSA contributions under a cafeteria plan also lower Social Security and Medicare.
