New Hampshire Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

New Hampshire does not tax wage income. The state historically levied a tax on interest and dividend income (the Interest and Dividends Tax), but the I&D tax was fully repealed effective 2025. For 2026, paycheck withholding for New Hampshire residents includes federal income tax and FICA only. New Hampshire has no State Disability Insurance program funded by payroll, and no New Hampshire municipality imposes a local income tax on wages. The state funds operations principally through property tax, business taxes, and selective excise taxes, with property tax notably large because there is no income tax or general sales tax to spread the load. Workers who commute to Massachusetts pay Massachusetts income tax on those wages. This calculator estimates 2026 New Hampshire take-home pay after federal tax and FICA, with support for pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions, single or married filing jointly, and standard or itemized deductions.

vs. baseline ($85,000 single filer)
