Connecticut withholding: 7 brackets up to 6.99%
Connecticut takes a graduated bite for a single filer: 2% on the first $10,000 of taxable wages, rising to 6.99% on wages over $500,000 ($1,000,000 on a joint return). The calculator uses no Connecticut standard deduction.
The rates have been unchanged since 2024. At the default $75,000 salary, each extra $1,000 of pay adds $51.70 of Connecticut tax a year.
