How New Hampshire taxes your paycheck
New Hampshire does not tax wages. That means the only taxes taken from your pay are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security at 6.2% up to $184,500 and Medicare at 1.45%).
New Hampshire's tax on interest and dividends was repealed for tax periods beginning after December 31, 2024, so the state no longer taxes wages, interest or dividends of individuals. Source: New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration: interest and dividends tax.
No state tax does not always mean low costs overall. Places without an income tax often rely more on sales, property or other taxes and fees, so compare the full cost of living, not only the paycheck.
Other taxes: New Hampshire's state sales tax rate is 0%, and the average combined state and local rate is 0.00% (as of January 1, 2026; Tax Foundation). No tax on wages is not the same as no tax: states without an income tax usually raise money through sales, property or other taxes, so compare the whole picture, not only the paycheck.
Source for the rates and deductions: Tax Foundation, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets, 2026. State rules change, so check the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration for filing and withholding rules.

Ways to keep more of your pay in New Hampshire
- Use a traditional 401(k) or 403(b). Each $1,000 you contribute lowers your federal taxable pay.
- Use payroll benefits. Health insurance premiums, an FSA and an HSA paid through payroll lower your taxable pay.
- Check your W-4. If you get a very large refund or a bill every April, adjust your withholding. Our guide to reading your paycheck shows how.
- Compare job offers after tax, not before. A job in New Hampshire that pays $5,000 more can leave you with a different gain than the number suggests. Use the calculator above for both.
