Wondering how much house you can afford with your net pay?
Mortgage Loan CalculatorNew Hampshire has no state income tax on wages, and as of January 2025 it also fully repealed its old Interest and Dividends Tax, making it one of the very few states in the country with zero state-level tax on any form of personal income. Pair that with the fact that New Hampshire is also one of just five states with no general state sales tax, and you get a state with an unusually light personal tax footprint for wage earners — a real draw for anyone commuting into Massachusetts or relocating from a higher-tax New England neighbor. This calculator is pre-filled with a 0% state rate so you can see your federal-plus-FICA-only tax burden directly. The tradeoff is on the property side: New Hampshire relies heavily on property taxes to fund towns and schools, and its property tax rates as a share of home value are consistently among the highest in the nation. Businesses also face the Business Profits Tax, Business Enterprise Tax, and a Meals & Rooms Tax, though none of these apply directly to an individual's wage income. If you're comparing New Hampshire to a neighboring state with income tax, remember to weigh the property tax difference carefully, especially if you're a homeowner rather than a renter.

Pro Tip
If you're a homeowner, weigh New Hampshire's high property taxes against the income tax you'd save — the comparison shifts if you rent instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does New Hampshire have a state income tax? +
No, not on wages. New Hampshire is one of nine US states with no state income tax on wage or salary income — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming are the others. New Hampshire fully repealed its old Interest and Dividends Tax as of January 2025, so investment income is also untaxed now.
Did New Hampshire used to tax interest and dividends? +
Yes. Through 2024, New Hampshire levied a 5% (phasing down from higher rates in prior years) tax on interest and dividend income only, not wages. That tax was fully repealed effective January 1, 2025, meaning New Hampshire now has zero state-level tax on any form of personal income.
Does New Hampshire have a state sales tax? +
No. New Hampshire is one of only five states with no general state sales tax, alongside Alaska, Delaware, Montana, and Oregon. Combined with no income tax, this makes New Hampshire one of the lowest personal tax burden states in the country for wage earners and everyday shoppers alike.
How does New Hampshire make up for the lack of income and sales tax? +
New Hampshire relies heavily on property taxes, which are among the highest in the nation as a share of home value, plus targeted taxes like the Business Profits Tax, Business Enterprise Tax, and Meals & Rooms Tax. Homeowners should factor in this tradeoff even though wage income is untaxed.
Do any New Hampshire towns charge a local income tax? +
No. New Hampshire towns and cities do not levy separate local income taxes. They do, however, set their own property tax rates, which vary significantly by town and are the primary source of local government funding across the state.
