New Hampshire Income Tax Overview
New Hampshire has no income tax on wages or salaries and no statewide sales tax, making it one of only five states with neither. New Hampshire previously taxed interest and dividend income (the "Interest and Dividends Tax"), but that tax was fully eliminated as of January 1, 2025 — meaning New Hampshire is now a clean no-income-tax state for all types of income. The state funds its government primarily through property taxes, which are among the highest in the country per capita, and various fees and business taxes. No New Hampshire city charges a local income tax on wages.
Here's what a single New Hampshire filer keeps in 2026. On a $50,000 salary, take-home is approximately $42,165 per year ($3,514/month). At $80,000, take-home is $64,578 ($5,382/month). At $100,000, you keep $78,648 ($6,554/month). At $150,000, take-home is $113,182 ($9,432/month). In every case, only federal income tax and FICA are deducted — there is no state layer. Workers in Manchester, Nashua, and Concord all take home identical amounts on the same salary.
The Massachusetts border is one of the most consequential tax boundaries in the country. A New Hampshire resident earning $80,000 takes home approximately $4,000 more per year than a Massachusetts resident earning the same amount (MA charges 5% on most income). For the large number of workers who commute from New Hampshire into Massachusetts for work, Massachusetts generally taxes the income earned in Massachusetts — meaning the benefit only fully applies to New Hampshire-based jobs or remote work.
Watch out: New Hampshire's property taxes are genuinely high — among the highest effective property tax rates in the country at roughly 1.9–2.3% of assessed value in many municipalities. For homeowners, the lack of income and sales tax is partially offset by significant property tax bills. Renters are affected indirectly through higher rents in markets where property taxes are high. Include property costs in any comparison between New Hampshire and neighboring Massachusetts, which has higher income taxes but lower property taxes.

How these numbers are calculated
Every figure on this page is computed from published 2026 tax rules — not estimates or rounded ballparks. Federal income tax uses the seven 2026 brackets and the $16,100 single / $32,200 married standard deduction. FICA applies Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base and Medicare at 1.45% with no cap. New Hampshire has no state income tax, so only these federal taxes apply. Self-employment figures apply the 15.3% SE tax with the standard 50% deductible-portion adjustment.
