New Hampshire Paycheck Calculator 2026

Estimate your 2026 New Hampshire take-home pay from salary or hourly wages. New Hampshire has no state or local income tax, so this calculator focuses on what does come out: federal W-4 withholding, Social Security, Medicare and your pre-tax and post-tax deductions. If you commute to Massachusetts, see how that changes your paycheck below.

Written by Rachel Brooks, Tax Forms and W-2 Content Specialist. Updated September 25, 2026. Every example is checked by hand against IRS Publication 15-T.

2026 calculation methodology

Federal withholding uses the 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction for your Form W-4 filing status, with Step 2(c), Step 3 and Step 4 inputs. New Hampshire has no state or local income tax, so no New Hampshire amount is withheld. Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500 and Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000. Employer-paid New Hampshire unemployment insurance never comes out of your pay. See the worked example and test cases below.

What You Should Know About New Hampshire Paychecks

New Hampshire doesn't tax wages, and since 2025 it doesn't tax interest and dividends either. The only taxes withheld from a New Hampshire paycheck are federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, so a $60,000 salary paid biweekly keeps $1,938.07 of each $2,307.69 check.

The big exception is commuting. If you live in New Hampshire and work in Massachusetts, Massachusetts taxes those wages at 5% and takes a paid leave contribution, about $113.70 per paycheck at $60,000.

The minimum wage follows the federal $7.25 an hour, and there's no required state paid leave deduction.

New Hampshire Paycheck Taxes at a Glance

Here's everything that can come out of a New Hampshire paycheck in 2026 and which payroll taxes the employer pays instead. For more on the federal lines, see our FICA tax guide.

How Much More You Keep in New Hampshire

The same $60,000 biweekly paycheck, filing single, run through our New England calculators with their default settings. Figures include state paid leave deductions where they're required.

State tax and paid leave on a $60,000 salary, biweekly, single (2026)
State State tax plus paid leave per paycheck Per year
New Hampshire$0.00$0
Connecticut (income tax only)$89.13$2,317
Maine (income tax plus 0.5% PFML)$111.54$2,900
Massachusetts (5% tax plus 0.46% PFML)$113.70$2,956
Keep the whole picture in mind: New Hampshire funds itself mostly through property taxes, business taxes and fees, and it has no general sales tax. Homeowners feel the difference through higher property tax bills.

Living in New Hampshire and Working in Massachusetts

Tens of thousands of New Hampshire residents commute south. Massachusetts taxes wages for work done there, so the no-tax advantage mostly disappears for those days.

New Hampshire resident paycheck, $60,000 salary, biweekly, single (2026)
Where you work State tax Paid leave Take-home pay
New Hampshire$0.00$0.00$1,938.07
Massachusetts, every day$103.08$10.62$1,824.37
Remote days: Days you work from home in New Hampshire generally aren't Massachusetts wages, unless your employer requires remote work for its own convenience rather than yours. If you split your week, ask payroll to withhold Massachusetts tax only on the Massachusetts share. You'll file a Massachusetts nonresident return, and New Hampshire has no return to file for wages.

New Hampshire Payroll Costs Your Employer Pays

No income tax doesn't mean no payroll tax. New Hampshire employers pay these on your wages, and none of them come out of your check unless noted.

New Hampshire employer payroll costs in 2026
Tax or program 2026 rate or rule Comes out of your pay?
Unemployment insurance0.1% to 7.5% on the first $14,000; 1.7% for new employersNo
Administrative contribution0.4% on the same wagesNo
Paid Family and Medical LeaveVoluntary plan; 60% wage replacement for 6 or 12 weeksOnly if your employer shares premiums
If you buy your own leave coverage: Workers whose employer doesn't offer a plan can buy individual New Hampshire paid family and medical leave coverage for no more than $5 a week. It's a separate purchase, not a payroll deduction, unless your employer sets it up that way.

How to Calculate Your New Hampshire Paycheck

A New Hampshire paycheck goes from gross pay to take-home pay in four steps, and the last one is simple because there's no state tax.

1

Calculate gross pay

Divide salary by pay periods, or multiply the hourly rate by regular hours and add overtime at 1.5 times the rate after 40 hours in a week.

4

Finish New Hampshire take-home pay

There's no New Hampshire state or local income tax, so subtract any post-tax deductions and you have your take-home pay.

New Hampshire Paycheck Worked Example: $60,000 Salary, Biweekly

Here's the paycheck at the top of this page run by hand: a $60,000 salary, federal Single, biweekly pay and no pre-tax deductions. Federal withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T for 2026.

New Hampshire Minimum Wage and Overtime in 2026

New Hampshire has no minimum wage of its own above the federal level, so the rate is $7.25 an hour. Neighboring Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts all pay far more.

New Hampshire minimum wage and pay rules
Rule Amount or requirement What it means for a paycheck
Minimum wage$7.25 an hour (federal)$290 weekly gross at 40 hours; no federal income tax withheld; about $267.81 take-home
Tipped employees45% of the minimum wage, about $3.27, with tips bringing pay to $7.25Tips are taxable wages and are withheld on
Overtime1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours a weekEnter overtime hours in hourly mode
Overtime example: $20 an hour for 80 regular and 10 overtime hours is $1,900 gross, and take-home pay is $1,610.50. To total a week of punches first, use our time card calculator with overtime.

New Hampshire Paycheck Tax Calculator: How New Hampshire Payroll Works

A New Hampshire paycheck calculator is really a federal calculator with New Hampshire pay rules on top. Your stub should show federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and nothing for state withholding (SIT). Our pay stub abbreviations list explains the codes you'll see.

Federal Withholding for New Hampshire Paychecks

Federal withholding uses your Form W-4 and the 2026 federal brackets. The calculator supports filing status, Step 2(c), Step 3 credits and Step 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c). If you claim the new overtime or tips deductions, our W-4 Step 4(b) worksheet guide shows how to enter them, and our 2026 federal tax withholding guide covers the rest. For tipped restaurant and hospitality workers, the new federal tips deduction can make a real difference.

Working Across State Lines

New Hampshire has no income tax, so the question is always the other state. Massachusetts taxes wages for work done there, and so do Maine and Vermont. People who live in those states and work in New Hampshire owe their home state's tax, and their employer may withhold it as a courtesy.

Bonuses

Only federal taxes apply to New Hampshire bonuses. A bonus paid separately usually gets a flat 22% federal withholding plus FICA. See why bonuses are taxed so high.

Why Your Actual New Hampshire Paycheck May Differ

This calculator is a close estimate, not your employer's payroll run. Your W-4 on file, benefit elections, overtime hours, year-to-date wages and a 27th biweekly payday in some years can all move the result a little. Three-paycheck months change monthly cash flow but not the tax on each check. For a full checklist, see why your paycheck is lower than expected. At year-end, our W-2 form generator can use the same totals.

Update log: September 25, 2026: rewrote this page. The old version listed the wrong minimum wage ($14 rising to $15 on September 30) and called unemployment insurance a "reemployment tax"; New Hampshire follows the federal $7.25 minimum and its program is unemployment insurance. We moved the page to our current layout and added the Massachusetts commuter section, employer-paid costs, voluntary paid leave, a New England comparison, a salary table, a worked example and the test cases above. We re-check this page whenever the IRS or New Hampshire agencies publish new figures, and at least once a year each January.

New Hampshire Paycheck Calculator FAQ

Does New Hampshire have a state income tax?
No. New Hampshire doesn't tax wages, and the old tax on interest and dividends was repealed starting in 2025. No city or town taxes wages either. The only taxes withheld from a New Hampshire paycheck are federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
How much tax is taken out of a New Hampshire paycheck?
On a $60,000 salary paid biweekly, filing single, $369.62 comes out of each $2,307.69 paycheck: $193.08 federal income tax, $143.08 Social Security and $33.46 Medicare. That leaves $1,938.07, or about 84% of gross pay.
I live in New Hampshire but work in Massachusetts. Do I pay tax?
Yes, to Massachusetts. Massachusetts taxes wages for work done there at 5%, and the two states have no reciprocal agreement, so your employer withholds Massachusetts tax and its paid leave contribution. Days you work from home in New Hampshire generally aren't Massachusetts wages unless your employer requires you to work remotely for its convenience.
What is New Hampshire's minimum wage in 2026?
New Hampshire follows the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour. Tipped employees can be paid 45% of that, about $3.27 an hour, if tips bring them to $7.25.
Is New Hampshire paid family and medical leave deducted from my paycheck?
Only if your employer has bought a New Hampshire Paid Family and Medical Leave plan and chosen to share the cost. The program is voluntary. Employers with 50 or more workers that share premiums must collect them through payroll, and individuals can buy their own coverage for no more than $5 a week.
Do employees pay New Hampshire unemployment tax?
No. Employers pay New Hampshire unemployment insurance on the first $14,000 of each worker's wages, plus an administrative contribution. Neither comes out of your pay.
How are bonuses taxed in New Hampshire?
Only federal taxes apply. Bonuses paid separately usually get a flat 22% federal withholding, plus 6.2% Social Security and 1.45% Medicare. There's no New Hampshire withholding on bonuses.
Does New Hampshire require daily overtime?
No. New Hampshire follows the federal rule: time and a half after 40 hours in a workweek.
Are 401(k) contributions pre-tax in New Hampshire?
Yes, for federal income tax. A $150 biweekly 401(k) contribution on a $60,000 salary cuts federal withholding from $193.08 to $175.08. With no state tax, there's no state saving on top.
Does New Hampshire tax interest and dividends?
Not anymore. The Interest and Dividends Tax was repealed for tax periods starting on or after January 1, 2025. It never applied to wages.
How do I calculate take-home pay in New Hampshire?
Start with gross pay. Subtract pre-tax deductions, then federal withholding from your W-4, 6.2% Social Security up to $184,500 and 1.45% Medicare. Subtract post-tax deductions to get take-home pay. There's no state step unless you work in another state.
