How is my Connecticut paycheck calculated?
- Federal income tax: calculated using 2025 IRS tax brackets after the standard deduction.
- Social Security: 6.2% of wages, up to the annual wage base ($176,100 for 2025).
- Medicare: 1.45% of all wages, plus an additional 0.9% on income above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly).
- Connecticut state tax: calculated using Connecticut's published state income tax brackets after the state standard deduction.
Example

FAQ
- Does this include 401(k) or health insurance deductions? No, this calculates statutory federal and state payroll taxes only — pre-tax benefit deductions would reduce take-home pay further.
- Is this exact to the dollar? It's a close estimate based on published 2025 tax brackets; actual withholding can vary slightly based on your W-4 elections and employer's payroll system.
- Does this include local or city taxes? No, only state-level tax is calculated — some cities and counties levy additional local income tax.
