Formula
Net Pay = Gross Pay − Pre-tax Deductions − Federal Tax − FICA − State Tax − Post-tax Deductions
FICA = 6.2% Social Security (up to wage base) + 1.45% Medicare (+0.9% above $200k)
New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages.
How to calculate
- Calculate your gross pay (salary ÷ pay periods, or hourly × hours).
- Subtract pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, insurance) to get taxable wages.
- Apply federal income tax withholding using IRS tables.
- Apply FICA: 6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare.
- Apply New Hampshire state income tax (none on wages).
- Subtract post-tax deductions to find take-home pay.

New Hampshire paycheck — methodology and sources
Tax structure: New Hampshire does not levy a state income tax on wages, so paycheck withholding is limited to federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare). FICA: 6.2% Social Security up to the annual wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages (with an extra 0.9% above $200,000 for single filers). Pre-tax deductions like traditional 401(k), HSA, and most health-insurance premiums lower the wages subject to federal (and usually state) income tax. Local taxes (city, county, or school district) can apply in some areas and are not always reflected in a single statewide rate. For the most accurate withholding, verify against current guidance from the IRS (Publication 15-T) and the relevant New Hampshire state tax agency. Useful references: IRS Publication 15-T (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15t.pdf), the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator), and the Federation of Tax Administrators directory of state tax agencies (https://taxadmin.org/state-tax-agencies/).
