What you should know about New Hampshire taxes
New Hampshire does not tax wages or salary — only interest and dividend income was taxed, and that tax was fully phased out as of January 2025. Effectively, NH is now a zero-income-tax state.
No State Income Tax
New Hampshire does not levy a state income tax on wages. Your paycheck deductions are limited to federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%).
New Hampshire: Now Fully Tax-Free on Income
New Hampshire phased out its Interest & Dividends Tax entirely as of January 2025. Previously, the state taxed interest and dividend income at 5% (then 4%, then 3%). Now, there is zero state-level tax on any type of income — wages, salary, interest, dividends, capital gains, or retirement income. This makes New Hampshire effectively the eighth no-income-tax state. For workers earning W-2 wages, this was already the case — NH has never taxed wages. Your paycheck only has federal tax and FICA deducted. Combined with no sales tax, New Hampshire is one of the lowest-tax states overall.
The NH-Massachusetts Border Dynamic
Thousands of New Hampshire residents commute to Boston and Massachusetts for work. Under normal rules, they would owe Massachusetts 5% income tax. However, NH residents working remotely for MA employers have been fighting this — a legal battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court. As of 2026, if you physically work from your NH home, Massachusetts cannot tax your income. This has driven a wave of remote workers north of the border. Manchester, Nashua, and the Seacoast region have boomed as a result. Property taxes in NH are among the highest in the nation (no state income or sales tax means localities rely heavily on property tax), so factor that into your overall cost picture.
