How much is New Hampshire state income tax?

New Hampshire does not have one. No state income tax is withheld from a New Hampshire paycheck at any income, which is why take-home there is higher than in a state with the same federal withholding.

What is take-home pay on $75,000 in New Hampshire?

Federal withholding and FICA are the only deductions, so it is the same as any other no-income-tax state. On $75,000 that is about 7.65% to FICA plus federal income tax at your bracket.

Does New Hampshire have local income taxes?

No local income tax applies in New Hampshire, so the state figure above is the whole of it.

If New Hampshire has no income tax, what does it charge?

Sales and property tax, mostly. The combined sales tax is 0%, 47th of fifty, and property tax runs 1.5% of a home's value a year, 5th of fifty. The two pull in opposite directions, which is why a single ranking of "tax-friendly states" tells you little about your own household.

Is this the same as what my employer withholds?

Close, not identical. Withholding follows the W-4 you filed and your state’s equivalent form, which can carry allowances, extra withholding or a second job adjustment this page does not know about. The annual tax is what settles on your return; withholding is an instalment against it.

New Hampshire income tax for 2026

There is no rate. New Hampshire raises revenue through other taxes instead, which is the trade the notes below describe.

$75,000 in New Hampshire, paid twice a month

Single, no dependants, no 401(k) and no pre-tax health premium — so every line below is tax rather than a benefit election. The gross cheque is $3,125.00.

The form that sets your state withholding

There is none. With no state income tax there is nothing to elect, and your federal W-4 is the only withholding form a New Hampshire employer needs from you.

What New Hampshire charges instead

No state takes nothing. New Hampshire raises the same money elsewhere, and these two are where a household actually feels it.

Sales and property tax in New Hampshire
Sales tax, state plus average local	0%	47th of fifty
Property tax on median home value	1.5%	5th of fifty

New Hampshire levies no state sales tax at all. Property tax is among the heaviest in the country at 1.5% of value a year — 6,000 dollars a year on a $400,000 home. Work yours out on the property tax calculator.

Withholding is an instalment, not the bill. What the year actually settles at is on the refund calculator, and the dates it settles on are the federal tax deadlines.

What this does not include

New Hampshire has no tax on wages, and the 3% tax on interest and dividends that survived until 2024 was repealed from 1 January 2025. For 2026 there is no state income tax of any kind.
There is no state sales tax either. Property tax carries the load at 1.5% of home value a year, fifth-heaviest in the country.
