Connecticut 2026: Statutory schedules (not indexed), unchanged for 2026: no rate, bracket or exemption changes were enacted in the 2025-2026 sessions. MFS uses the single schedule. The personal exemption phases out by $1,000 per $1,000 of CT AGI above $30,000 single / $48,000 MFJ / $38,000 HoH / $24,000 MFS (gone by about $45k/$71k/$56k/$35k), so most earners get none; the exemption phase-out is modelled (smoothly, not in $1,000 steps); the 2% bracket phase-out add-back, tax benefit recapture and the 1-75% personal tax credits are not modelled, so tax is understated for many filers. Federal tax is 2026 withholding (IRS Pub. 15-T), not your final tax bill.

CT Paid Leave (0.5% up to $184,500 — CT Paid Leave Authority). The calculator includes these; untick “Include state disability / paid-leave contributions” to leave them out.

Is this the same as my employer's payroll calculation?+

It uses the IRS Publication 15-T percentage method that payroll software uses for federal withholding, and Connecticut's 2026 tax rules (checked 2026-10-07). Your employer may round each step or use the state's own withholding tables, so expect small differences.

Is anything I enter saved or sent?+
