Why Connecticut tax isn't estimated yet
Connecticut's personal exemption phase-out, benefit recapture and personal tax credit aren't loaded yet, so Connecticut income tax isn't estimated. The calculator still shows your federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and marks the state line "not yet estimated" rather than guessing.
Local income taxes in Connecticut
Connecticut has no local income taxes.
Local taxes are shown for information only. The calculator doesn't add them to your result.
Minimum wage, tips and overtime in Connecticut
The minimum wage used for Connecticut is $16.94 an hour. Tipped employees may be paid a cash wage of $6.38 with a tip credit of up to $10.56, as long as wages plus tips reach the full minimum. Check a shift with the tipped wage calculator.
No daily overtime rule; overtime follows the federal FLSA standard of 1.5x for hours over 40 in a workweek.
