New Hampshire income tax, explained
New Hampshire has never taxed wages or salaries, and as of 2026 it has no state income tax at all. The state's 5% Interest & Dividends Tax — its last remaining income tax — was fully repealed effective January 1, 2025.
That means for 2026, both earned income and investment income are free of New Hampshire state income tax. Your paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA.
For 2026 the paycheck math is simple: gross pay minus federal income tax and FICA, with no state line at all — and, with the Interest & Dividends Tax gone, no state tax on investment income either. New Hampshire leans instead on local property taxes, which fall on homeowners rather than on your paycheck. A worker moving here from an income-tax state keeps the former state-tax amount in each check while federal withholding and FICA are unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
- Does New Hampshire tax my paycheck?
- No. New Hampshire has never taxed wages, and with the Interest & Dividends Tax repealed as of 2025, there is no state income tax for 2026.
- What happened to the Interest & Dividends Tax?
- It was phased down and then fully repealed effective January 1, 2025. Investment income is no longer subject to New Hampshire state income tax.
- Are there any local income taxes in New Hampshire?
- No. There is no state or local tax on wage income, so only federal income tax and FICA affect your take-home pay.
- I live in New Hampshire but work in another state — whose income tax applies?
- New Hampshire won't tax your wages, but if you physically work in a state that taxes income — commuting across the border, for example — that state can tax the wages you earn there. New Hampshire residency does not shield income earned within another state's jurisdiction.
