New Hampshire Tax Information — 0% on Wages, 5% on Dividends, No SDI, No Sales Tax

Zero State Income Tax on Wages

New Hampshire is one of the best states for maximizing your take-home pay from your job. New Hampshire does not tax your wages. You pay zero dollars in state income tax on your paycheck. This applies to all earned income including salaries, hourly wages, bonuses, commissions, overtime pay, and self-employment income.

For example, if you earn one hundred thousand dollars per year in New Hampshire from your job, you pay zero dollars in state income tax on those wages. The same salary in California would cost you approximately nine thousand three hundred dollars in state tax plus one thousand one hundred dollars in SDI. That is over ten thousand four hundred dollars more in your pocket every year just by living in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is one of nine states with no income tax on wages. The other states are Texas, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, Washington, and Tennessee.

Important: New Hampshire’s 5 Percent Tax on Dividends and Interest

This is the most important thing to understand about New Hampshire taxes. Unlike other no-tax states, New Hampshire does tax investment income. However, this tax does NOT affect your paycheck. It applies only to dividends from stocks and interest from bonds.

The tax rate is 5 percent. But there are important exemptions that mean most people pay nothing.

For single filers, the first two thousand four hundred dollars of dividends and interest are exempt from tax. For married couples filing jointly, the first four thousand eight hundred dollars are exempt. Only the amount above these exemptions is taxed at 5 percent.

For example, if you are single and earn three thousand dollars in dividends per year, you pay 5 percent tax on only six hundred dollars. That is thirty dollars per year. This tax is filed on a separate state tax return and does not come out of your paycheck.

Additional Exemptions for Seniors, Blind, and Disabled Residents

New Hampshire offers additional exemptions for residents who are sixty five years or older, blind, or disabled. These individuals can claim an additional one thousand two hundred dollar exemption. This further reduces or eliminates the dividends and interest tax for many retirees.

For example, a single retiree who is sixty five years old with five thousand dollars in dividends would have a total exemption of three thousand six hundred dollars. That is two thousand four hundred dollars standard exemption plus one thousand two hundred dollars senior exemption. They would pay 5 percent tax on only one thousand four hundred dollars, which is seventy dollars per year.

No SDI Tax — New Hampshire’s Advantage

Many workers moving from California ask does New Hampshire have SDI. The answer is no. New Hampshire does not have State Disability Insurance. Unlike California where workers pay 1.1 percent SDI on their gross pay, New Hampshire workers pay nothing. This saves you over one thousand one hundred dollars per year on a one hundred thousand dollar salary compared to California.

No Local Income Tax — Manchester, Nashua, Concord All Zero

This is a common question from workers moving to Manchester or Nashua. New Hampshire cities including Manchester, Nashua, Concord, and Portsmouth do not charge local income tax. Every dollar you earn stays in your pocket. Unlike New York City where you pay up to 3.9 percent local tax, or Philadelphia where you pay approximately 3.8 percent, New Hampshire cities have zero local income tax.

No State Sales Tax — Unique New Hampshire Advantage

New Hampshire is one of only five states with no state sales tax. The state sales tax rate is zero percent. When you buy goods in New Hampshire, you pay no state sales tax. This is a unique advantage that only Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon offer. Your paycheck is not reduced by any sales tax, and your money goes further when you make purchases.

Minimum Wage and Overtime Rules

The minimum wage in New Hampshire for 2026 is seven dollars and twenty five cents per hour, which follows the federal minimum wage rate. Overtime pay is one and a half times your regular rate for all hours worked over forty hours per week. For example, if you earn fifteen dollars per hour, your overtime rate is twenty two dollars and fifty cents per hour.

What About Unemployment Insurance Tax?

New Hampshire has a state unemployment insurance tax. Employers pay this tax on the first fourteen thousand dollars of each employee’s wages. Rates range from 0.1 percent to 7 percent. This tax is paid by employers only, not by employees. You pay zero dollars of this tax from your paycheck. Your take-home pay is not affected.

Who Benefits Most from New Hampshire Taxes?

High earners making over one hundred fifty thousand dollars save the most because they avoid state income tax on wages entirely. Investors benefit from the dividends and interest tax structure — most people pay little or nothing due to exemptions. Retirees benefit from the additional one thousand two hundred dollar exemption for seniors. Remote workers benefit because New Hampshire does not tax wages regardless of where your company is located. Families benefit from no inheritance tax and no estate tax. Everyone benefits from no sales tax.

How New Hampshire Compares to Other No-Tax States

On a one hundred thousand dollar salary for a single filer with no dependents, your take-home pay from wages is approximately sixty six thousand two hundred seventy two dollars per year or two thousand seven hundred sixty one dollars per biweekly paycheck. This is the same in New Hampshire, Texas, Florida, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Alaska because all have zero state income tax on wages.

However, New Hampshire has unique advantages and one unique tax. The advantages are no state sales tax (unlike Texas at 6.25 percent, Florida at 6 percent, South Dakota at 4.5 percent, and Wyoming at 4 percent). The unique tax is the 5 percent dividends and interest tax, which most people avoid due to exemptions.

Alaska has no state sales tax and pays residents the Permanent Fund Dividend, but has much colder winters and higher cost of living. Texas and Florida have lower sales tax than New Hampshire? Actually New Hampshire has zero sales tax, which is lower than Texas and Florida. This is a major advantage.

A Note on Federal Taxes

While New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages, no SDI, no local tax, and no sales tax, you still pay federal income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. Our calculator above includes all federal taxes so you get an accurate estimate of your take-home pay.

The federal tax brackets for 2026 range from 10 percent to 37 percent. Social Security tax is 6.2 percent on the first one hundred eighty four thousand five hundred dollars you earn. Once you earn more than this amount, the Social Security tax stops for the rest of the year. Medicare tax is 1.45 percent on all earnings, with an additional 0.9 percent surtax for high earners over two hundred thousand dollars for single filers or two hundred fifty thousand dollars for married couples filing jointly.

Use our calculator above to see your exact New Hampshire take-home pay. Change the salary, filing status, and deductions to match your situation. Remember, the dividends and interest tax does not affect your paycheck — it is filed separately on your state tax return.

Dividends and Interest Tax — Complete Guide 5% Rate, Exemptions, Who Pays

What is the New Hampshire Dividends and Interest Tax?

New Hampshire is unique among no-tax states. While there is no state income tax on wages, New Hampshire does tax certain types of investment income. This tax is called the Interest and Dividends Tax. It applies to income from stocks, bonds, savings accounts, and other investments.

The tax rate is 5 percent. However, this tax does NOT affect your paycheck. It is filed on a separate state tax return, usually once per year. Most people pay little or nothing because of generous exemptions.

Important: This Tax Does NOT Affect Your Paycheck

Your employer does not withhold this tax from your paycheck. It is completely separate from your wages. When you use our paycheck calculator above, you see your take-home pay from your job. The dividends and interest tax is calculated separately when you file your New Hampshire state tax return.

For most workers, this tax is not a concern. Only people with significant investment income beyond the exemption limits need to pay it.

Standard Exemptions — Most People Pay Nothing

The state of New Hampshire offers generous exemptions that mean most residents pay no dividends and interest tax at all.

For single filers, the first two thousand four hundred dollars of dividends and interest income are exempt from tax. For married couples filing jointly, the first four thousand eight hundred dollars are exempt.

Only the amount above these exemptions is taxed at 5 percent.

Here are some examples to help you understand.

If you are single and earn one thousand dollars in dividends per year, you pay zero tax. Your income is below the two thousand four hundred dollar exemption.

If you are single and earn three thousand dollars in dividends per year, you pay 5 percent tax on only six hundred dollars. That is thirty dollars per year. The calculation is three thousand dollars minus two thousand four hundred dollars equals six hundred dollars taxed at 5 percent.

If you are married and earn five thousand dollars in interest per year, you pay 5 percent tax on only two hundred dollars. That is ten dollars per year. The calculation is five thousand dollars minus four thousand eight hundred dollars equals two hundred dollars taxed at 5 percent.

If you are married and earn four thousand dollars in dividends per year, you pay zero tax because your income is below the four thousand eight hundred dollar exemption.

Additional Exemptions for Seniors, Blind, and Disabled Residents

New Hampshire offers additional exemptions for residents who are sixty five years or older, blind, or disabled. These individuals can claim an additional one thousand two hundred dollar exemption on top of the standard exemption.

For example, a single retiree who is sixty five years old with five thousand dollars in dividends would have a total exemption of three thousand six hundred dollars. That is two thousand four hundred dollars standard exemption plus one thousand two hundred dollars senior exemption. They would pay 5 percent tax on only one thousand four hundred dollars, which is seventy dollars per year.

For a married couple where both are over sixty five, each spouse can claim the senior exemption. Their total exemption would be four thousand eight hundred dollars standard plus two thousand four hundred dollars senior exemptions, totaling seven thousand two hundred dollars. Most retirees with typical investment income would pay zero tax.

What Types of Income Are Taxed?

The dividends and interest tax applies to:

  • Dividends from stocks and mutual funds

  • Interest from savings accounts and certificates of deposit

  • Interest from bonds, including corporate and government bonds

  • Distributions from trusts

What Types of Income Are NOT Taxed?

The following types of income are NOT subject to the dividends and interest tax:

  • Wages, salaries, and hourly pay from your job

  • Capital gains from selling stocks or property

  • Retirement income including 401k, IRA, and pension distributions

  • Social Security benefits

  • Rental income

  • Business income

  • Gifts and inheritances

Who Actually Pays This Tax?

Based on the exemption amounts, most New Hampshire residents pay nothing. Only people with significant investment income above the exemption limits need to pay.

A single person would need more than two thousand four hundred dollars in annual dividends and interest before paying any tax. A married couple would need more than four thousand eight hundred dollars.

According to state data, only about 15 percent of New Hampshire residents pay any dividends and interest tax. The average tax paid is around one hundred to two hundred dollars per year.

How to File the Dividends and Interest Tax

If you have dividends and interest income above the exemption limits, you need to file New Hampshire Form DP-10. This is a separate tax return from your federal return. The filing deadline is April 15 each year, the same as your federal return.

Our paycheck calculator above does not include this tax because it does not affect your paycheck. If you have significant investment income, consult a tax professional about your dividends and interest tax obligations.

Comparison with Other States

New Hampshire’s approach to taxing only investment income is unique. Most other no-tax states like Texas, Florida, and South Dakota have no tax on any form of income. However, those states have sales tax ranging from 4.5 percent to 6.25 percent. New Hampshire has no sales tax at all.

California taxes dividends and interest as regular income at rates up to 13.3 percent, with no special exemptions. New Hampshire’s 5 percent rate with generous exemptions is much more favorable.

Summary — Key Points to Remember

The dividends and interest tax is 5 percent. It only applies to investment income, not wages. The first two thousand four hundred dollars for single filers and four thousand eight hundred dollars for married filers are exempt. Additional one thousand two hundred dollar exemptions are available for residents sixty five or older, blind, or disabled. This tax does NOT affect your paycheck — it is filed separately. Most New Hampshire residents pay nothing.

Remote Work and New Hampshire Taxes — Complete Guide for Remote Workers

New Hampshire has become a popular destination for remote workers. Many tech workers, freelancers, consultants, and employees choose New Hampshire because there is no state income tax on wages. Plus, there is no state sales tax. Here is what every remote worker needs to know about taxes when working from New Hampshire.

If You Live in New Hampshire and Work Remotely for an Out-of-State Company

You pay zero New Hampshire state tax on your wages. New Hampshire does not tax wages regardless of where your employer is located. Even if your company is in California, New York, Texas, Massachusetts, or any other state, you pay New Hampshire state tax on wages which is zero percent. Your employer should not withhold state tax for their state because you live and work in New Hampshire.

For example, if you live in Manchester and work remotely for a company based in Boston or San Francisco, you pay zero dollars in New Hampshire state tax on your wages. You only pay federal taxes. Your employer will withhold zero state tax from your paycheck. This is one of the biggest advantages of living in New Hampshire as a remote worker.

If You Live in Another State but Work Remotely for a New Hampshire Company

You pay state tax to the state where you live, not to New Hampshire. New Hampshire does not have a state income tax on wages, so it does not withhold taxes for non-residents. Your home state will tax your wages based on their state tax rate.

For example, if you live in Massachusetts but work remotely for a Manchester company, you pay Massachusetts state tax which is 5 percent. You do not pay any New Hampshire tax on wages because you do not live in New Hampshire. Your employer will withhold Massachusetts tax from your paycheck because you live there.

If You Split Your Time Between New Hampshire and Another State

If you live in New Hampshire part of the year and another state part of the year, you need to track your days carefully. Generally, you pay tax to the state where you are physically located when you work. If you work one hundred eighty three days or more in New Hampshire, you are considered a New Hampshire resident for tax purposes and pay zero state tax on wages on those days.

If you work in another state for more than a certain number of days which varies by state, you may owe tax to that state. Keep a log of where you work each day. Save your flight tickets, hotel receipts, and work location records. Consult a tax professional if you split time between multiple states.

What About the Convenience of the Employer Rule?

Some states have a convenience of the employer rule. This means if you choose to work remotely for your own convenience rather than because your employer requires you to be remote, you still pay tax to the state where your employer is located. New York has this rule. California has this rule. Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and a few other states also have this rule.

New Hampshire does not have this rule because New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages. However, if your employer is in New York or California and you choose to work remotely from New Hampshire for your own convenience, you may still owe tax to New York or California. Check your specific situation with a tax professional.

What About the Dividends and Interest Tax for Remote Workers

The dividends and interest tax applies to remote workers who live in New Hampshire, regardless of where their employer is located. If you live in New Hampshire and earn dividends from stocks or interest from bonds, you may owe the 5 percent tax on amounts above the exemptions.

The first two thousand four hundred dollars for single filers and four thousand eight hundred dollars for married filers are exempt. Additional one thousand two hundred dollar exemptions are available for residents sixty five or older, blind, or disabled. Most remote workers with modest investment income pay little or nothing.

This tax does NOT affect your paycheck. It is filed separately on your state tax return.

What About Sales Tax for Remote Workers

New Hampshire has no state sales tax. This is a huge advantage for remote workers. When you buy goods in New Hampshire, you pay zero state sales tax. This applies to online purchases as well. Your money goes further here than in states with sales tax.

If you spend three thousand dollars per month on taxable goods, you pay zero dollars in state sales tax in New Hampshire. In Texas, you would pay approximately one hundred eighty seven dollars. In Florida, you would pay approximately one hundred eighty dollars. In Tennessee, you would pay up to two hundred ninety two dollars. This is a significant saving.

What About Minimum Wage for Remote Workers

New Hampshire minimum wage for 2026 is seven dollars and twenty five cents per hour, which follows the federal minimum wage. This applies to remote workers who are employees of New Hampshire companies. If you work remotely for an out-of-state company, your wage may be subject to that state’s minimum wage laws. Consult your employer about which minimum wage applies to you.

Real Example One — Remote Worker Living in New Hampshire Working for a Massachusetts Company

Meet Henry. He lives in Nashua, New Hampshire and works remotely for a tech company based in Boston, Massachusetts. He earns one hundred twenty thousand dollars per year. Here is his tax situation. He pays zero New Hampshire state tax on his wages because New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages. He pays zero Massachusetts state tax because he does not live or work in Massachusetts. Massachusetts has a convenience of the employer rule, but it applies to Massachusetts residents, not to New Hampshire residents. He pays federal income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax like any other worker. His total state tax savings compared to living in Massachusetts is approximately six thousand dollars per year. Plus, he pays no state sales tax on his purchases.

Real Example Two — Remote Worker Living in Massachusetts Working for a New Hampshire Company

Meet Sophia. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts but works remotely for a Nashua company. She earns one hundred twenty thousand dollars per year. Here is her tax situation. She pays Massachusetts state tax of 5 percent which is approximately six thousand dollars per year. She pays zero New Hampshire state tax because she does not live in New Hampshire. Her total state tax bill is approximately six thousand dollars per year. She would save this entire amount by moving to New Hampshire. She would also save on sales tax, as Massachusetts has a 6.25 percent sales tax.

Real Example Three — Remote Worker Splitting Time Between New Hampshire and Massachusetts

Meet Marcus. He lives in New Hampshire for eight months of the year and Massachusetts for four months of the year. He earns one hundred fifty thousand dollars per year. He tracks his days carefully. He works one hundred eighty days in New Hampshire and one hundred twenty days in Massachusetts. He pays zero New Hampshire state tax on the income earned while working in New Hampshire. He pays Massachusetts state tax at 5 percent on the income earned while working in Massachusetts. He works with a tax professional to file two state tax returns and allocate his income correctly.

Tips for Remote Workers in New Hampshire

Keep a daily log of where you work. Use a spreadsheet or an app to track your location for each day you work. This is essential if you split time between states.

Update your W-4 form with your employer. Make sure they know you live in New Hampshire so they do not withhold state tax for another state. Give your employer your New Hampshire address.

Do not let your employer withhold tax for their state if you live and work in New Hampshire. If they do withhold incorrectly, you will need to file a non-resident tax return with that state to get a refund.

Consult a tax professional if you work from multiple states or if your employer is in a state with the convenience of the employer rule like New York or California.

Enjoy the no state sales tax benefit. New Hampshire is one of only five states with no sales tax. Every purchase you make saves you money.

Understand the dividends and interest tax. If you have significant investment income, consult a tax professional. Most remote workers pay little or nothing due to the exemptions.

Lower cost of living than Massachusetts or New York. No state tax on retirement income.

How to Save on Federal Taxes in New Hampshire — 7 Legal Strategies

While New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages, no SDI, no local tax, and no state sales tax, you still pay federal income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. Here are seven legal ways to reduce your federal tax bill and keep more of your paycheck. These strategies work for both hourly and salaried workers in New Hampshire.

Strategy One — Increase Your 401k Contributions

Every dollar you contribute to your 401k reduces your taxable income. If you earn one hundred thousand dollars per year and increase your 401k contribution by one percent which is one thousand dollars per year, your taxable income drops to ninety nine thousand dollars. If you are in the 22 percent tax bracket, you save approximately two hundred twenty dollars in federal taxes. Your paycheck only drops by about sixty dollars because of the tax savings. The best part is that you are also saving for retirement. Your money grows tax-free until you withdraw it in retirement. Many employers also offer a matching contribution, which is free money added to your account. If your employer matches fifty percent of your contributions up to six percent of your salary, that is an additional three thousand dollars per year on a one hundred thousand dollar salary going into your retirement account.

Strategy Two — Contribute to an HSA or Health Savings Account

If you have a high-deductible health plan, you can contribute to an HSA. In 2026, you can contribute up to four thousand three hundred dollars for individual coverage or eight thousand five hundred fifty dollars for family coverage. HSA contributions are pre-tax, meaning they reduce your taxable income. The money grows tax-free, and withdrawals for medical expenses are also tax-free. This is one of the best tax-advantaged accounts available because you get a tax deduction when you contribute, tax-free growth, and tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses. Unlike an FSA, HSA funds roll over year after year and never expire. You can also invest HSA funds in stocks and bonds for additional growth.

Strategy Three — Use Your FSA or Flexible Spending Account

If your employer offers an FSA, you can contribute up to three thousand two hundred dollars per year in 2026. FSA contributions are pre-tax and reduce your taxable income. You can use the money for medical expenses, dental care, vision care, prescription drugs, and even dependent care. The only catch is that you must use the money by the end of the year or you lose it. Some plans allow a carryover of up to six hundred ten dollars into the next year. Plan your contributions carefully based on your expected medical and dependent care expenses.

Strategy Four — Claim All Dependents You Qualify For

Each dependent child under seventeen gives you a two thousand dollar child tax credit. This credit directly reduces your federal tax bill dollar for dollar. If you have two children, that is four thousand dollars less tax you owe. If you have three children, that is six thousand dollars less tax you owe. Other dependents like elderly parents or adult children with disabilities may qualify for a five hundred dollar credit for other dependents. Update your W-4 with your employer when you have a new child so they withhold less tax from each paycheck. You do not have to wait until tax time to get this benefit.

Strategy Five — Itemize Deductions If You Have Enough

The standard deduction for 2026 is fifteen thousand dollars for single filers and thirty thousand dollars for married couples filing jointly. If your itemized deductions exceed these amounts, you should itemize instead of taking the standard deduction. Common itemized deductions include mortgage interest on your home, state and local taxes up to ten thousand dollars, charitable donations to qualified organizations, medical expenses exceeding 7.5 percent of your income, and casualty and theft losses in federally declared disaster areas. Keep receipts and records for all deductible expenses throughout the year.

Strategy Six — Contribute to a Traditional IRA

If your employer does not offer a 401k, or even if they do, you can contribute to a traditional IRA. In 2026, you can contribute up to seven thousand dollars per year. If you are age fifty or older, you can contribute up to eight thousand dollars per year as a catch-up contribution. Traditional IRA contributions are tax-deductible depending on your income and whether you have a workplace retirement plan. If you are single and your modified adjusted gross income is under seventy three thousand dollars, you can take the full deduction. Even if you earn more, you may still qualify for a partial deduction. The contribution reduces your taxable income and lowers your federal tax bill.

Strategy Seven — Harvest Tax Losses on Your Investments

If you have investments in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have lost value, you can sell them to realize the loss. These capital losses can offset capital gains from investments that have gone up in value. If your losses exceed your gains, you can deduct up to three thousand dollars per year against your ordinary income like your salary or wages. Any unused losses can be carried forward to future tax years. New Hampshire has a 5 percent tax on dividends and interest, but no tax on capital gains. This strategy works best in a taxable brokerage account, not in a retirement account like a 401k or IRA where tax loss harvesting does not apply.

Quick Summary — Which Strategy is Best for Your Situation

Here is a simple guide to help you decide which strategy to focus on first.

If you are young and saving for retirement, your best strategy is to increase your 401k contribution to at least ten to fifteen percent. The tax savings plus employer match and compound growth over time will make a huge difference in your retirement savings.

If you have a high-deductible health plan, your best strategy is to max out your HSA first. An HSA offers triple tax benefits. You get a tax deduction when you contribute, tax-free growth, and tax-free withdrawals for medical expenses. No other account offers this combination.

If you have children, your best strategy is to claim the child tax credit on your W-4. Update your W-4 with your employer so they withhold less tax from each paycheck. You get the benefit throughout the year instead of waiting for a refund.

If you own a home with a mortgage and pay significant mortgage interest and property taxes, your best strategy is to itemize your deductions. Compare your total itemized deductions to the standard deduction and choose the larger amount.

If your employer does not offer a 401k, your best strategy is to open a traditional IRA. You can contribute up to seven thousand dollars per year and deduct the contribution from your taxable income.

If you have investments that have lost value, your best strategy is to harvest tax losses. Sell losing investments to offset gains from winning investments and deduct up to three thousand dollars against your ordinary income.

A Note on New Hampshire’s Unique Tax Situation

New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages, no SDI, no local income tax, and no state sales tax. The only unique tax is the 5 percent dividends and interest tax, which most residents avoid due to generous exemptions. This already gives you a huge advantage over workers in California, Massachusetts, New York, and other high-tax states. You start with more take-home pay before you even use any of these federal tax saving strategies. The strategies above help you reduce your federal taxes even further.

For example, a worker in New Hampshire earning one hundred thousand dollars already takes home approximately sixty six thousand two hundred seventy two dollars per year after federal taxes. A worker in California with the same salary takes home only fifty seven thousand four hundred dollars per year because of state tax and SDI. That is a difference of eight thousand eight hundred seventy two dollars per year just from living in New Hampshire. Plus, the New Hampshire worker pays no state sales tax on purchases.

Now add the federal tax saving strategies. If that New Hampshire worker also maxes out their 401k contribution of twenty three thousand five hundred dollars per year, their taxable income drops to seventy six thousand five hundred dollars. Their federal tax drops by approximately five thousand one hundred seventy dollars. Their take-home pay increases by about one hundred ninety nine dollars per biweekly paycheck even after accounting for the 401k contribution.
