Connecticut Paycheck Taxes

Connecticut withholds state income tax using its 2026 withholding method (graduated (withholding code a-f)), in addition to federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.

Connecticut also has employee-paid payroll taxes beyond income tax withholding: Connecticut Paid Leave (CTPL). These are calculated separately from state income tax and shown as their own line items in your results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Connecticut have state income tax?

Yes. Connecticut withholding is based on a withholding code (A through F) from Form CT-W4 rather than a simple filing status — each code reflects a different combination of income, credits, and household situation.

What does Connecticut withholding code "E" mean?

Code E means you've certified you expect no Connecticut income tax liability for the year, so $0 is withheld. Codes A through D and F apply Connecticut's graduated rates differently depending on your household and income.

What is Connecticut Paid Leave (CTPL)?

CTPL is a state-run paid family and medical leave program funded by a 0.5% employee-paid payroll deduction on wages, separate from and in addition to state income tax withholding.

Does Connecticut have local income taxes?

No. Connecticut municipalities don't levy a separate wage income tax, so no locality input is needed for Connecticut.
