New Hampshire Take-Home Pay Calculator (2026)

New Hampshire does not tax wages or salary income. Workers in New Hampshire keep their full gross pay without any state withholding on earned income. This has been the case for decades, and the state constitution supports it through provisions that restrict the types of income the state can tax.

New Hampshire historically taxed interest and dividend income at a flat rate. That tax, known as the Interest and Dividends Tax, was eliminated for tax years beginning January 1, 2025. So as of 2026, New Hampshire taxes no form of personal income at the state level. Workers, investors, and retirees with investment portfolios all benefit from this elimination.

The state funds its operations primarily through property taxes, which are among the highest in the nation. New Hampshire has no state sales tax and no income tax, so property taxes carry a heavy load. Homeowners in New Hampshire pay some of the highest property tax rates in the country, often 1.5% to 2.5% of assessed value annually. Renters indirectly bear property tax costs as well, since landlords factor them into rents.

Workers evaluating a job offer in New Hampshire should compare their take-home pay carefully against states with income taxes. A $90,000 salary in New Hampshire leaves more in the paycheck than the same salary in neighboring Massachusetts (5% flat rate) or Maine (top rate 7.15%). The practical savings are $4,500 to $6,000 per year for a worker at that income level, which is meaningful, though property costs for homeowners can recapture some of that advantage.
