No state income tax in New Hampshire — so what still shrinks your 2026 paycheck?
New Hampshire is one of the U.S. states with no state income tax. Your 2026 paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax withholding and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) — there is no New Hampshire income tax line, so your take-home pay is higher than in an otherwise-identical job in a state that taxes wages. New Hampshire does not tax earned wages; its former 5% tax on interest and dividends was fully phased out and repealed effective January 1, 2025, so investment income is now untaxed too.
What this estimate doesn't include: City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those. No state income tax does not mean no state payroll deductions. Check your stub for state-run leave or disability contributions.
Estimates only, not tax advice. The section "What this estimate doesn't include" above lists what's left out; see also our terms and the corrections log.
