New Hampshire Paycheck Calculator
↻ Updated 2026 tax yearSee your real take-home pay in New Hampshire for 2026 — after federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (FICA). New Hampshire charges no state income tax on wages, so your paycheck goes further here.
How New Hampshire taxes your paycheck
New Hampshire does not tax wages, and as of 2025 it no longer taxes any personal income at all — the former tax on interest and dividends was fully repealed. The calculator above therefore subtracts only federal income tax and FICA, with no state tax of any kind.
This is a recent change worth noting: New Hampshire once stood apart for taxing investment income even though it spared wages, but that carve-out is now gone, leaving the state with no personal income tax whatsoever.
What New Hampshire still withholds
Even with no state income tax, your New Hampshire paycheck still shows federal income tax based on your W-4, plus 6.2% Social Security and 1.45% Medicare on all wages, with an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax on high incomes.
The trade-off: property taxes
New Hampshire pays for public services with some of the highest property taxes in the country rather than an income or general sales tax. The savings on your paycheck can be offset by what you pay to own or rent a home.
