Connecticut Tax Calculator

The Connecticut (CT) Tax Calculator is updated for the 2026/27 tax year. It estimates your Connecticut state income tax alongside federal income tax, FICA, and Medicare to provide an accurate take-home pay figure. Connecticut uses a progressive income tax with multiple brackets, and certain taxpayers may qualify for credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (CT-EITC) or property tax credit.

This calculator reflects the latest Connecticut and federal updates, including bracket adjustments, standard deductions, and withholding changes effective for 2026/27.
