New Hampshire is one of the few US states with no state income tax on wages. That means the only taxes withheld from a New Hampshire paycheck are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) — there is no state income tax line at all.
Because New Hampshire skips state income tax, take-home pay here is typically higher than in a state with comparable wages but a state income tax. Keep in mind that New Hampshire may rely more heavily on sales tax, property tax, or other charges to fund public services.
What changes a New Hampshire paycheck?
There is no tax on earned income in New Hampshire. The state's separate tax on interest and dividends, its only broad personal income tax, ended on January 1, 2025, according to Tax Foundation's 2026 table.
That leaves federal income tax withholding, Social Security at 6.2% up to the wage base, and Medicare at 1.45% as the required deductions modeled here.
New Hampshire funds itself heavily through property taxes and business taxes, which do not show up on a paycheck. Payroll deductions you elect, such as retirement or health coverage, are not part of this estimate.

Frequently asked questions
Does New Hampshire have a state income tax?
New Hampshire has no state income tax, so your only paycheck withholdings are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare).
How much state tax is withheld from a New Hampshire paycheck?
None. New Hampshire does not tax wage income, so $0 is withheld for state income tax. Your paycheck only loses federal income tax and FICA (Social Security 6.2% and Medicare 1.45%).
Is take-home pay higher in New Hampshire?
Generally yes, at the paycheck level — with no state income tax deducted, more of your gross pay reaches your account than in a comparable state that taxes wages. Other costs like sales or property tax may offset this overall.
