New Hampshire withholding rates for 2026
New Hampshire levies no state income tax on wages in 2026, so there is no state withholding table to publish. What is withheld from a New Hampshire paycheck is federal, plus any state payroll program listed above.
New Hampshire spent decades being described as a state with no income tax, except. The exception was the interest and dividends tax, which applied to investment income and never to wages. It was repealed for taxable periods after 2024, so the asterisk went with it. A New Hampshire paycheck now shows federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and nothing else.
Living in one state, working in another
The interesting case is the commuter. New Hampshire residents who work in Massachusetts are taxed by Massachusetts on that income, because the tax follows where the work happens. If that is your situation, run the numbers on our Massachusetts calculator: the New Hampshire address does not shield the paycheck.
We never copy another calculator. Each rate is read from the official document, dated, and re-checked when agencies publish changes. This page's paper trail:
