Unlike most other states, New Hampshire does not have a personal income tax. It may sound more convenient than the alternative if you are a small business owner, because you do not have to withhold state income tax on employee wages. Despite the lack of a New Hampshire withholding tax, employers will still need to withhold federal income tax, including everything from:
- Collecting W-4 forms from new employees
- Scheduling withholding tax payments on a monthly or semiweekly basis
New Hampshire also has separate, state-based payroll taxes of 2.7%. In 2026, unemployment insurance (1.3%) and administrative contribution (0.4%, also known as the AC rate) comprise the New Hampshire payroll tax. If it sounds like a hassle, you are right — it is.
