Does New Hampshire have a state income tax?
No. New Hampshire has never taxed wages, and its 3% Interest & Dividends Tax was repealed for tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, so it now has no individual income tax at all. There is also no general sales tax.
That makes New Hampshire one of nine states — with Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming — where wages are free of state income tax. Your paycheck still has federal income tax withheld, plus Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on high wages).

Moving to New Hampshire?
Becoming a New Hampshire resident ends state income tax on your wages from the day you move, but your former state can still tax income earned before the move and, in some cases, retirement or deferred compensation tied to work done there. Keep proof of your new domicile — a driver’s license, voter registration, lease or deed and where you spend your time. If you keep working remotely for an employer in a state with a “convenience of the employer” rule, such as New York, that state may still tax your wages.
