New Hampshire Payroll Taxes

New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages. Typical paychecks include federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. Employers fund New Hampshire unemployment insurance (SUTA). Businesses may owe employer-level taxes unrelated to employee take-home. Pretax benefits—401(k)/403(b)/457(b), HSA, FSA, commuter, and Section 125 insurance premiums—can reduce taxable wages when plan-eligible.

• Employee (federal): Income tax (IRS W-4), Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare for high earners.
• Employee (state/local): No NH state or municipal wage/income withholding.
• Employer: NH SUTA; FUTA; workers’ compensation; required postings and recordkeeping.
• Pretax deductions: May lower federal taxable wages and, when eligible, FICA.

How Your New Hampshire Paycheck Works

Net pay equals gross wages (regular, overtime, tips, differentials, bonuses) minus pretax deductions, then minus FICA and federal income tax. With no NH or city income tax, there’s no state/local withholding line. The calculator itemizes hours, rates, taxable wages, withholdings, deductions, and take-home pay.

• Inputs: Hourly rate, hours, overtime, tips, pay frequency, filing status, dependents/credits, deductions.
• Outputs: Line-by-line FICA, federal withholding, deductions, and net pay.
• Supplemental wages: Compare flat vs. aggregate federal methods for bonuses/commissions.

New Hampshire Salary Threshold

FICA in New Hampshire

Local Income Taxes

50-word summary: New Hampshire cities and towns do not impose employee local income or wage taxes. Paychecks show federal income tax and FICA only. Employers may owe business taxes, but these do not reduce employee net pay. Multistate commuters may face other local wage taxes; confirm worksite/residency rules.
