How New Hampshire withholding works
Wages vs. investment income in New Hampshire
New Hampshire has long stood out for taxing no wage income. It did tax interest and dividends through a separate Interest & Dividends tax, but that has been phased out and no longer applies. Neither your wages nor your investment income face a state tax today.
What New Hampshire withholds from your paycheck
Your check reflects federal income tax for your bracket, Social Security at 6.2%, and Medicare at 1.45%. No state income tax, SDI, or PFML deduction applies. Pre-tax contributions lower your taxable wages, so add them above.
