New Hampshire taxes on workers
New Hampshire never taxed wages, and its only individual income tax, the Interest and Dividends Tax under RSA 77, was repealed effective January 1, 2025. Unemployment contributions are the employer’s and cannot be deducted from wages.
Businesses are taxed: the Business Profits Tax is 7.5% and the Business Enterprise Tax is 0.55%.
Minimum wage in New Hampshire
New Hampshire ties its minimum wage to the federal $7.25 an hour; tipped employees must be paid at least 45% of it.
Your federal withholding and Form W-4
With no state income tax, federal withholding is the only income tax on your paycheck. It depends on your Form W-4: your filing status, the Step 2 box if you have two jobs or both spouses work, and the Step 3 amount for children and other dependents. Pre-tax 401(k), 403(b) and cafeteria-plan health premiums come out before income tax is figured. If you are paid on a 1099 instead of a W-2, nothing is withheld; use the self-employment tax calculator and plan for estimated payments.
