Rules this estimate applies for Connecticut
- The personal exemption shrinks by $1,000 for every $1,000 of income above $30,000 (single) or $48,000 (joint).
Connecticut also phases out its 2% bracket at higher incomes, recaptures bracket benefits from high earners and gives income-based personal credits to lower earners. Those rules are not included, so actual tax may differ from this estimate.
