How Connecticut withholding works

Connecticut withholds state income tax at rates from 2% to 6.99% of taxable wages, by the state's own withholding method.

Your employer uses your Connecticut Form CT-W4, and the calculator asks its questions.

401(k) contributions, health premiums, and HSA contributions all lower the wages Connecticut taxes, as they do for federal income tax.

For a bonus paid on its own check, Connecticut withholding is worked out by the aggregate method: the bonus is added to a regular paycheck and taxed together.

Connecticut also takes these payroll programs from paychecks:

  • CT Paid Leave: 0.5% of wages up to $184,500 a year (at most $922.50)
