How New Hampshire state tax withholding works
New Hampshire has no state individual income tax, so your employer does not withhold any state income tax from your paycheck. Only federal income tax (and FICA — Social Security and Medicare) comes out. There is no New Hampshire withholding certificate to file — you complete the federal Form W-4 and nothing more at the state level.
Use the calculator above to dial in your federal withholding and get the exact W-4 entries to break even — that’s the only withholding New Hampshire workers need to manage.
New Hampshire vs. federal withholding
Your New Hampshire and federal withholding are figured separately. Federal withholding follows the IRS Publication 15-T tables and your Form W-4; New Hampshire adds nothing on top. Getting one right doesn’t guarantee the other — this calculator handles both so you don’t owe a surprise bill to either the IRS or New Hampshire.
Important New Hampshire notes
- New Hampshire does not tax wage income (its tax on interest and dividends was fully repealed), so no state income tax is withheld from wages.
