How New Hampshire take-home pay is calculated
New Hampshire does not tax wage or salary income, so your paycheck is reduced only by federal taxes and FICA, leaving an unusually high take-home pay. There are no city or county income taxes anywhere in the state. While New Hampshire historically taxed interest and dividend income, that Interest & Dividends Tax was fully repealed effective January 1, 2025, so earned income and investment income are now both free of state-level tax.
Federal income tax
Progressive 10%–37%, applied after the federal standard deduction ($15,000 single / $30,000 married for 2025).
Social Security
6.2% of wages up to the $176,100 wage base.
Medicare
1.45% of all wages, plus 0.9% above $200,000.
