How it works

Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction for your filing status. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base and Medicare 1.45% of all wages (plus 0.9% above $200,000 single). Connecticut's tax is figured on your income after a $15,000 personal exemption (single-filer figures).

Married figures assume the salary is the household's only income, filing jointly. Connecticut's effective property tax rate is among the ten highest in the country and varies widely by town, so two similar homes a few miles apart can carry very different bills. Homes sell quickly in the current market.
