New Hampshire Payroll Tax Calculator 2026
New Hampshire does not tax wages, salaries, or earned income. Historically, New Hampshire taxed interest and dividend income at 3% (the I&D Tax), but that tax was eliminated completely effective January 1, 2025. New Hampshire now has effectively no state income tax of any kind.
Because New Hampshire has no state income tax, your full paycheck is only subject to federal income tax withholding and FICA (Social Security + Medicare). This can result in take-home pay that is $200–$500/month higher than equivalent earnings in high-tax states like California or New York.
