How New Hampshire taxes your paycheck
New Hampshire doesn't tax wages, so the only income taxes on your paycheck are federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%).
New Hampshire's old tax on interest and dividends ended after 2024, and it never applied to wages.
Federal taxes on every paycheck
Federal income tax is withheld using the IRS percentage method in Publication 15-T for 2026, based on your W-4. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 a year, and Medicare takes 1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000. These are the same in every state.
