Living in New Hampshire and working across the border
New Hampshire has no general sales tax on goods, and since January 1, 2025 it has no tax on interest and dividends either. That older tax never applied to wages, and returns for 2024 and earlier are still due, but it no longer applies to new income.
The catch for many residents is the commute. New Hampshire doesn't tax your wages, but Massachusetts does tax wages for work done in Massachusetts, even if you live elsewhere, at a 5% rate for 2025. If you work there, expect Massachusetts tax on your pay stub and a nonresident return. If you split your week between states, Massachusetts generally taxes only the share tied to days worked there. This calculator covers a New Hampshire job; for a Massachusetts job, use the Massachusetts calculator.
- There is no general sales tax on goods bought in New Hampshire.
- Restaurant meals, hotel rooms and car rentals carry an 8.5% meals and rooms tax.
