Paycheck taxes in New Hampshire

New Hampshire spent decades as the awkward case on this list: it never taxed wages, but it did tax investment income through the Interest and Dividends Tax, imposed in its final year at 3% on interest and dividend income above a $2,400 personal exemption or a $4,800 joint-filer exemption. That tax is now gone. A 2021 law had scheduled the repeal for taxable periods beginning after December 31, 2026, but the legislature accelerated it in 2023, and the Department of Revenue Administration confirmed in Technical Information Release 2025-001 that the I&D Tax was repealed effective January 1, 2025. The Department stopped producing 2025 I&D forms altogether and told taxpayers not to file 2025 estimated payments. Tax year 2024 was the last year the tax applied, and those earlier periods remain subject to audit and collection — the repeal granted no amnesty for pre-repeal years.

Bonuses and supplemental wages in New Hampshire

New Hampshire has no state income tax, so a bonus carries no state supplemental withholding at all — whichever method your employer uses, the state takes nothing. Only federal supplemental withholding applies, which is a flat 22% on supplemental wages up to $1 million.

For the federal half, which this site does model, compare what withholding takes from a bonus against what you actually owe — the 22% flat rate is withholding, not a tax bill, and the difference comes back at filing.
