State withholding methodology

Paycheck withholding is estimated from annualized wages, then converted into per-pay-period deductions. Federal withholding uses IRS 2026 bracket logic and standard deduction assumptions; state withholding uses New Hampshire bracket data where applicable.

  • Net paycheck: gross per paycheck - federal tax - state tax - FICA

Paycheck taxes in New Hampshire — what to expect

Nothing state-level comes out of a New Hampshire paycheck. The mandatory lines on the stub are federal income tax withholding (IRS 2026 tables), Social Security at 6.2% up to the wage base, and Medicare at 1.45% (plus 0.9% additional Medicare above $200,000 for single filers). New Hampshire historically taxed interest and dividends, but that 5% tax was repealed for 2025 and later — wages have never been subject to state income tax. New Hampshire funds itself elsewhere — its effective property tax rate is about 1.59% — but none of that shows up in per-paycheck withholding.

For a single filer earning $75,000, roughly $2,368.94 lands in the bank each biweekly payday in New Hampshire (about $5,132.70 on a monthly cycle) after estimated federal tax and FICA.

Withholding here follows 2026 tables from New Hampshire state (https://www.nh.gov/revenue/). Your actual stub also reflects W-4 elections, pre-tax benefits and 401(k) deferrals, so treat these figures as the baseline before those adjustments.
