New Hampshire has no state income tax
New Hampshire is one of nine US states that does not levy a state income tax on wages. Residents pay only federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500), and Medicare (1.45% on all wages, plus 0.9% above $200,000 for single filers).
While there is no income tax, New Hampshire may fund its government through other means such as sales tax, property tax, or severance taxes on natural resources. The absence of income tax can result in significantly higher take-home pay compared to high-tax states.
On a $100,000 salary in New Hampshire, you'd take home $79,180 after federal taxes, Social Security, and Medicare — an effective total tax rate of 20.8%. With no state income tax, more of your paycheck stays with you compared to most states.
New Hampshire has no tax on earned wages — your entire salary is free from state income tax. The state previously taxed interest and dividends at 5% but fully phased that out in January 2025. NH is one of only 9 states with no income tax on wages, making it popular with workers commuting from Massachusetts.
