How New Hampshire taxes hourly pay
New Hampshire doesn't tax wages, so your paycheck only loses federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (plus whatever deductions your employer takes, such as 401(k) or health premiums).
New Hampshire's old tax on interest and dividends ended in 2025, and it never applied to wages.
Hourly workers pay the same taxes as salaried staff. What changes is that your check moves with your hours, so withholding moves with it: a week with overtime is withheld as if every week looked like that.
Questions
How much is $20 an hour after taxes in New Hampshire?
About $1,369.45 every two weeks ($684.73 a week) for 40 hours a week, single, W-4 defaults, 2026 rules. That's about $35,606 a year.
How is overtime taxed in New Hampshire?
Overtime is taxed like regular pay, but a check with overtime is annualized as if you earned that much every period, so more is withheld from that check. At $20 an hour with 10 overtime hours in a two-week period, take-home is about $1,610.50 instead of $1,369.45. Any new federal deduction for overtime is claimed through W-4 Step 4(b) or on your tax return.
