How to increase your New Hampshire take-home pay
With no state income tax, maximise federal savings through 401(k), HSA, and FSA contributions. NH residents who work remotely for companies in other states should clarify their state tax obligations with a professional.
- 401(k) / 403(b): Up to $23,500 pre-tax in 2026 ($31,000 ages 50–59 or 64+). Reduces both federal and most state taxable wages simultaneously.
- HSA: Up to $4,300 (self-only) or $8,550 (family) if on a qualifying HDHP. Triple tax advantage: pre-tax in, tax-free growth, tax-free medical withdrawals.
- FSA: Up to $3,300 healthcare or $5,000 dependent-care FSA. Use-it-or-lose-it, but effective at reducing immediate tax burden.
- Update your W-4: If you have significant deductions (mortgage interest, large charitable contributions), claim them on Step 4(b) of your W-4 to reduce withholding and get the benefit each pay period rather than waiting for a refund.
