How New Hampshire taxes wages in 2026
New Hampshire has never taxed wages, and its last remaining personal income levy — the tax on interest and dividends — completed its phase-out at the end of 2024. From 2025 onward the state taxes no personal income of any kind.
New Hampshire leans almost entirely on local property taxes and has no general sales tax either — an unusual combination that shifts the burden onto property owners rather than earners or shoppers.
Other paycheck deductions: New Hampshire employees pay no state income tax and no state payroll premiums on wages.
How New Hampshire compares
On wages, New Hampshire is tied with the other eight no-tax states — the federal and FICA math is the same everywhere, so a $75,000 salary nets $61,593 in all nine. The contrast is with states that do tax wages: take-home pay in Massachusetts at 5% keeps $58,063 of that same $75,000 — $3,530 less than New Hampshire; Vermont, which uses progressive brackets; Maine, which uses progressive brackets.
Across a decade, the gap compounds: at $75,000 the difference between New Hampshire and a mid-range flat-tax state like Michigan runs roughly $29,410 in cumulative take-home, before any raises.
