How this calculator works

Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction; Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500 and Medicare 1.45% (plus 0.9% over $200,000).

Connecticut income tax uses its 2026 brackets and a personal exemption of $15,000, as compiled by the Tax Foundation.

What it assumes

  • Standard deduction, no other income or credits, and the year's tax spread evenly across paychecks.
  • Connecticut also takes Paid Leave contributions out of wages, which this estimate doesn't include.
  • No widespread local income tax.
