Benefit recapture that can raise the effective rate on higher Connecticut AGI is not fully modeled, so large incomes can be understated on the state line. The audience is US W-2 employees — Stamford commuters, Hartford hospital staff, remote workers keeping a Connecticut address — comparing a check to New York or Massachusetts. No Connecticut city wage tax is added. Math runs locally from 2026 IRS brackets, the $184,500 SSA wage base, and the Tax Foundation 2026 compilation. This is an estimate, not Form CT-1040 software.

Connecticut uses a graduated state income tax. Only the slice of taxable wages above each published threshold is taxed at the next rate.

Connecticut recapture / benefit add-back is not fully modeled. We do not invent brackets or rates beyond the fields on that state model.
