Connecticut Hourly Wage Tax FAQ
What is $30 an hour after taxes in Connecticut?
About $50,000 net per year for a single full-time worker after federal tax, 7.65% FICA and Connecticut income tax (2.00%-6.99% brackets). The calculator above gives your exact figure.
Is overtime taxed more in Connecticut?
Overtime uses the same rates as regular pay. Because time-and-a-half raises gross pay, a bigger slice can fall in Connecticut's higher brackets or the federal 22%/24% brackets, so the effective rate on the overtime portion can look higher.
Does Connecticut have local income tax?
No. Connecticut has no municipal income tax, so the hourly calculator applies only state plus federal plus FICA.
Methodology & Source
Connecticut state tax figures sourced from Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (https://portal.ct.gov/drs), citing Conn. Gen. Stat. § 12-700. Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Connecticut's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures are not yet independently verified and currently fall back to single-filer brackets — see the caveat in the formula section above.
This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal, FICA, and CT state calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions, and other factors. Connecticut's $15,000 personal exemption phases out between $30,000 and $45,000 of income; this estimate applies it as a flat amount, which understates tax for filers in that phase-out band. Connecticut also has a "tax recapture" provision affecting high earners, not modeled.
